On May 12, 2023, a bill was passed to propose to make it illegal under the Florida Uniform Commercial Code to treat any CBDC as a kind of legal tender. This essentially means Florida became the first state in the U.S. state to initiate legislative action against the implementation of CBDCs on its public.
Why CBDCs Are Bad For The US
Speaking in a Twitter Spaces that also had Billionaire Elon Musk in participation, the Florida Governor explained how the Biden government plans to weaponize the spending patterns of the people via surveillance of the CBDCs. In his initial remarks, DeSantis said Florida is the first state that said it does not recognize Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Quoting the US Federal Reserve’s stance on CBDC bill, the Governor said the Congress would not authorize the use of CBDCs.
“I don’t think Congress would authorize it (CBDC bill). We are trying to protect people from CBDCs in Florida. That would mean a huge imposition in people’s financial freedoms and financial privacy. If the central authority has control over it, they would start imposing environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.”
