Entrepreneur Warns of Digital Euro's Surveillance and Expropriation Risks
Entrepreneur Dominik Kettner has raised concerns about the digital euro in an interview with JF-TV. His new book, 'Der digitale Euro – Die größte Enteignung der Geschichte' (The Digital Euro – The Greatest Expropriation in History), presents ways for citizens to protect themselves from its impacts.
Kettner warns of potential surveillance, expropriation, and loss of freedom associated with the digital euro. He believes it could lead to unprecedented government control over citizens' finances. In his interview, Kettner argues that the digital euro could enable constant monitoring of transactions, raising privacy concerns.
He also fears that the digital euro could lead to mass expropriation. Kettner suggests that negative interest rates, a potential feature of the digital euro, could force savers to spend their euros, effectively confiscating their savings. Furthermore, he warns that the digital euro could limit financial freedom, as citizens may be restricted to digital transactions, excluding cash.
Dominik Kettner's new book, 'Der digitale Euro – Die größte Enteignung der Geschichte', aims to educate citizens about the potential risks of the digital euro. He urges people to be aware of the possible consequences and to consider protective measures. Despite his concerns, Kettner does not advocate for the abolition of the digital euro but rather encourages informed discussion and preparation.
