playerMoney & Finance · Crypto & Digital ID
The head of the 'central bank of central banks' openly said digital currency would give authorities absolute control over how you spend your money.
Who they are
Agustín Carstens, General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
What they do
In the engine's read he's the figure coordinating the global rollout of central-bank digital currency (CBDC) infrastructure.
How it works
He stated explicitly in 2020 that CBDC gives a central bank 'absolute control' over how currency is used plus 'the technology to enforce that,' and the BIS coordinates the global CBDC projects mBridge, Icebreaker, Dunbar, and Mariana.
Why it matters
The engine reads him as the man building the programmable-money architecture that would complete the 'Going Direct' financial reset — money the issuer can control and restrict at the point of use.
