good point another thread someone thinks the current paper money is a mark of the beast but the RFID chip seems plausible, seems every so often I’m at a store and the cashier says plastic only. probably will be the norm in the future where actual physical currency will no longer be used. I already have to have my paycheck direct deposited, it’s like a huge hassle to get a regular check to cash.
One should really read up on how this entire financial system that is in the world today. There is something dark and sinister about it in my opinion. If talking form a financial point of view, one could describe the monetary system as we know it is a complete mess, that is my opinion. Carrying actual paper money is not that much different to carrying a card, only difference having a card requires the retailer to have the electronic payment systems set up to accept, where as in the event of a power outage, cash payments will still work
One of the problems with the paper currency we have today, is that the buying power is never the same. FOr example, one could buy 10 kilos of meat for say 100$ on one day, but come the next time when one buys 10 kilos of meat may cost $120.
But going by a financial point of view, going by a cashless society concept, where all citizens are required to have a electronic implant so as to be compliant with such a society, making illegal all other forms of currencies, such a society could give "tyranny" a whole new meaning.
BTW, I cannot see the actual paper currency itself as being the mark of the beast, just doesn't fit the requirements base don studying the relevant passages.
The day that requires everyone to have some kind of implant in order to function and take part in a society, along with sophisticated surviellance and AI technologies, will in my opinion be the beginning of a new age.
