Convenience is the guise that has led many down a never ending road to control or, lack there of , hmmm. I had just watched an interview with Brett Oland, CEO of a credit union in Alberta Canada. Brett discussed current issues with the banking institution including "Open Banking " and the fact that many people, without even knowing it have in a sence, signed on. The jist of " Open banking " sounds like the secret entrance to digital. Which I believe goes one step further than decades back and the introduction of credit/ debit cards. Cash is still the best way to go, unfortunately there are corporations that are already refusing to accept cash which makes it hard to navigate when these " corporations have the market cornered regarding items. It's time to talk to smaller Banks/ Credit Unions and do your own due diligence, ask the tough questions and align your assets with a business you trust and that are fighting the agenda. Some Credit Unions are no different than the " BIG BANKS" this is why due diligence is key. The nice thing about Credit Unions is , not only can you have your say as a member, you can become a member of the board, try that at your "CORPORATE BANK" there are many ways we can be involved where we can make a difference.

It's looks to me like open banking is taking hold and I don't see a lot of young people willing to forgo convenience. But without privacy we'll lose our freedom and individuality. So as long as I live I will resist and hold on to whatever assets I can. I gave up my cell phone, and use a VPN on the computer. I own Monero that can't be controlled. I use cash when I can. I'm learning about and implementing privacy strategies, but most people I know don't see why it's so important. Convenience is the default mode of modern society, and with so many divided, indoctrinated, and dare I say "woke" people being manipulated by the constant barrage of propaganda... well it seems like resistance is futile. But I won't give up, and will continue trying to 'be the change' and waking people up.
