"In Hunan, an elderly woman in a wheelchair died outside a bank after being forced to appear in person to withdraw her own money for medical care. Too weak to pass mandatory facial recognition scans, she collapsed after repeated failed attempts."
~ FFR #75

Technology is moving at an incredible pace, but the question is which direction is it moving? I increasingly believe we are on two divergent paths at the same time and headed for a collision course between two very incompatible worlds. Today we dive into Financial Freedom Report #75, with news from China's monetary expansion, new potentially authoritarian measures from Bukele, demonstrations of technological oppression, and powerful new tools for technological freedom. We are in a race, and there still remains a critical question for which path wins in the end. Find out in today's episode with a long guy's take to follow.
