They could have always done it at your bank as well. Easy electronic transfer changes nothing in that regard.

They have done it before. The difference is you can withdraw your cash if you see it coming. The government's end game is to get rid of physical cash with Pix and soon Drex.

Without physical cash, your finances are one hundred percent controlled by the government. Sure, it's convenient, but you pay for that convenience with your freedom.

Yup, my comment was directed at those who want to prevent electronic money. But it’s no different than earlier banking.

I support cash and gold as well.
