(Brownstone Institute) The past two weeks have been nothing short of surreal. If you’ve been following my journey over the last two and a half years, you know I’ve devoted my entire life to warning about the impending threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the government’s growing crackdown on cryptocurrency. So, when President Trump took three steps that seemed like a direct answer to everything I’ve been fighting for—pardoning Ross Ulbricht, banning any pursuit of a US CBDC, and rescinding Biden’s Executive Order (EO)14067—you’d think I’d be on top of the world.
Elon Musk has previously stated that he wants to cut $1 trillion to $6.5 trillion in annual federal spending to help balance the budget.
The order will revoke existing executive guidance on digital currency, establish a presidential task force, and ban central banks from issuing tokens.
