Nullify the Fed | Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) | OHIO

Take Action Today

Ohio House Bills 155 (HB155) and 163 (HB163) would explicitly exclude a CBDC from the definition of money in Ohio, effectively banning its use as such in the state. Under the Ohio Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), “money” means “a medium of exchange currently authorized or adopted by a domestic or foreign government. The term includes a monetary unit of account established by an intergovernmental organization or by agreement between two or more countries.” Both bills would add “the term does not include a central bank digital currency” to that definition.

Digital Tyranny: Beware of the Government’s Push for a Digital Currency

A government-issued digital currency will give the government the ultimate control of the economy and complete access to the citizenry’s pocketbook. While the government might tout the ease with which it can deposit stimulus funds into the citizenry’s accounts, such a system could also introduce what economists refer to as “negative interest rates.” Instead of being limited by a zero bound threshold on interest rates, the government could impose negative rates on digital accounts in order to control economic growth.

Central Bank Digital Currency: Paper Money isn’t the Solution

Physical paper money solves some of the privacy and security issues inherent in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). But a lot of people seem to have forgotten that government-issued paper fiat is the parent of a CBDC, and it won’t solve the more fundamental problem – whether physical or digital, fiat currency isn’t real money.
