The CBDC lady of Brussels imprisoned

The lady CBDC of Brussels is dropped for bribery. Just hours after a female MP from her party tried to shame bitcoin. How ironic.

Corruption at EU summit

Eva Kaili is one of the fourteen vice-presidents of the European parliament. A member of the Greek Passok party, she also belonged to the progressive alliance of socialists and democrats (S&D).

That is to say the same party as the French deputy Aurore Lalucq! The very one who instrumentalized the day before the bankruptcy of FTX to smear the bitcoin. So who is ” dirty “ ?

The vice-president was taken into custody following the arrest of her father in possession of a suitcase of banknotes. The Belgian police immediately searched the home of Eva Kaili to find more than 600,000 euros in cash.

Qatar would have greased the paw of the Greek MP to silence the critics vis-à-vis the thousands of workers who died for this football World Cup.

“Qatar is a leader in labor rights”she declared on November 22 at the rostrum of the European Parliament…

It didn’t take long for her to be tossed about by her French colleague:

Very well. But Aurore Lalucq would do well to sweep outside her door. The MP has become hysterical this Saturday after being criticized for his unbearable double talk.

He was all the same inflated to pull out the violins in the face of the losses of FTX customers even as his parliamentary committee laid down a amendment whose interpretation could have erected a wall between exchanges and private wallets.

We are not fools. Aurore Lalucq jumped for joy when ECB Governor Panetta offers last Thursday to ban Bitcoin.

Eva, CBDC Supporter

It must be said now that Eva Kaili was the “blockchain” lady of the European parliament.

Asked about the fact that bitcoin can be used to evade taxes, Eva Kaili had laughed at the microphone of Cointelegraph before confiding his fascination for the CBDC:

“It’s between you and me, but I think the best way to get those who want to do tax evasion is to put them on blockchain since the transactions can’t be erased. »

“I understand that there are decentralized currencies and there are indeed ways to cheat and abuse the system, but you can do it with cash, you can do it with euros”…

Disastrous words for the one who was a member of the Digital Currency Governance Consortium, a conclave created under the aegis of the World Economic Forum and composed of people as influential as they are hostile to bitcoin.

get there find notably :

Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of England and very influential UN ambassador. Benoît Coeuré, former spawn of the bank for international settlements. Alfred Kelly, CEO of Visa. Michael Honeyback, Chairman of Mastercard. Zhu Min, former governor of China’s central bank.

But also Hikmet Ersek, CEO of Western Union. Jacob Frenkel, chairman of the G30, a think tank bringing together the former presidents of the major central banks. Dan Schulman, CEO of Paypal or Eric Jing, CEO of Ant Group. Eva was well surrounded.

“The CBDC […] is a key area of ​​interest for the World Economic Forum,” has declared Klaus Schwab. “Building on our long history of public-private cooperation, we hope this consortium will catalyze the conversations needed to create a strong governance framework for CBDCs.”

Ethereum, CBDC, white hat, white hat?

Present in Davos in 2020 during the launch of this consortium, Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of ConsenSys, had declared :

“We commend the efforts of the WEF for its active research on digital currencies, including those based on blockchain. They will ensure that central banks can maintain their role as guardians of the economy. The future of money is digital. Central banks and the public sector have a crucial role to play in ensuring that this future is sustainable, inclusive and positive for society. »

Joseph Lubin obviously hopes that the CBDCs will be based on the Ethereum architecture. Vitalik Buterin’s friend even half-heartedly suggests that money should become a tool for rationing (“sustainable”).

Indeed, what could a programmable CBDC be used for, if not to prevent certain purchases? Meat ? Plane tickets ?

Here are two very telling tweets from the Ethereum community:

On August 03, 2022, @AdrianoFeria :

“It is easier, faster and safer for governments to create CBDCs from Ethereum”

On September 14, 2022, @ryanberckmans :

“CBDC, automatic taxation, bank account directly with the FED, KYC. We could show governments that everything can be done on Ethereum. It would be bullish for ETH if we had multiple types of CBDCs for different nations, with different ideologies, all trading on the Ethereum network”

All this to say that Eva Kaili’s downfall may not be bad news. The CBDCs are already shaping up to be a fiasco anyway.
