Just saw that NZ reserve bank is falling for the CBDC. Do we have any info that has been already used in submissions against this rubbish elsewhere in the world that the plebs can use to coordinate a response/public submission with there own national central banks? We could all share the beat arguments against this to help educate the public on the issues with this system then. Maybe something from @npub148yw...3y92 or the Bitcoin policy institute might have something?

I love music but can't play/write it to save myself, but I'm sure one of our wonderful creatives in the Nostrverse #wavlake #songstr could use this inspiration the missus just shared with me for a country style tune🤔😉

Merry Xmas morning to all the Plebs from NZ. Hope you have a great time with family and friends.
