Regardless of whether you want to believe in the mark of the beast or not... everyone sees the possibilities becoming more and more a reality. Soon, buying and selling will not be possible on a large scale, without digital access.

The agorist marketplace is growing in some circles...people that buy sell, trade and barter outside governmental interference, control and or observation.

What you will see is the government escalating its regulation.

Government is like this really unhealthy mom and son relationship where she sabotages any attempt to become self sufficient and independent...the more you struggle to pull away the tighter she ties those apron strings...its for the best you know?

People have been using Bitcoin for a while now. I don't see the issue with digital currency. We basically use it now with our phone apps and debit cards. People rarely use actual paper money anymore.

There is an update to the article: "Updated on 3/24/20 at 11:45 AM: The final version of the economic stimulus package offered by Speaker Pelosi the House Democrats no longer includes the U.S. Digital Dollar proposal; however, the language as proposed by Chairwoman Waters of the House Financial Services Committee still contains this language."

Bitcoin is a private digital currency. Complete and total sham and I believe may violate the Divine prohibition against false weights and measures (not that anybody is remotely concerned about God's opinion these days) but it is still private.

A "Digital Dollar" is something a bit different. Besides the fact that the Constitution seems to demand gold as currency the main issue is control. If anyone thinks the government would craft a program that allows genuine privacy and autonomy they are living in a fantasy land. Nobody who values liberty would want digital currency set up and maintained by the government. What, you didn't comply with some stupid communistic social edict? -brrrp- there, all your financials are locked, no more money for you. Good like buying food or paying bills now.

That's where things are headed, based on the public statements of the people with the power to make such things happen. Blockchain currency has a useful place. But under government control? Uh, nah thanks bruh. Think I'll pass.

By your definition wouldnt our current currency be a violation of False Weights and Measures since we are no longer on the gold standard?

A difficult question (hence why I said "may") but a lot of people have said the fiat currency in use now is based on a false weight and measure. I think this a good subject to get into and it's been something I've been thinking about for a few years off and on.

There are some businesses even today who have had their banking accounts closed and had PayPal and other services shut down their accounts because of politics.
