AI paves the way for CBDCs and a 'scary as hell' future, how to protect yourself - Frank Giustra

Frank Giustra, CEO of the Fiore Group and Founder of Lionsgate Entertainment, discusses how the Ukraine war is hastening a global monetary reset, with the BRICS seeking an alternative to the U.S. dollar in international trade. He also talks about the threat that artificial intelligence holds for jobs, and why AI and CBDCs could combine to bring about a 'scary as hell' future. Finally, he explains the Quantum Gravity Institute, which he helped to found, as well as his movie business experience. Giustra spoke with Michelle Makori, Lead Anchor and Editor-in-Chief at Kitco News.

The problem with acceptance that we will all be using CBDCs at some point is that once we do, we will all be in prison of sorts. Just protecting your investments isn't going to cut it. Maybe for someone like Frank that would work, but for the middle class it won't because we don't have the amount of investments that we can live off of to keep from using a CBDC. Only non compliance will keep us out of that prison.

The hesitancy to take on the CBDC and other issues has been a thing for many years. Woodrow Wilson talked about this in 1913. "Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." The military-industrial-congessional complex was there long before Eisenhower.

[@312pato]

The property you trade for will be valued in dollars, so you'd just hand over the corresponding amount of gold at that day's spot price. Basically the same thing as selling the gold and using the cash to buy the property.

The one criticism is the miscalculation of China moving on Taiwan. Yes, being excluded from US market would hurt China, but it would hurt the US far more! Name five items you can purchase, outside of agriculture that most Americans use everyday, that isn't made in China? The economic harm would be wrought onto the US. Our economy is based on consumption and if you think toilet paper was short, imagine Walmart or Target being 90% empty because everything is made in China. This is a miscalculation, just like they said Russia would be financially ruined, and their economy is doing better than the UK.

I really appreciated his insight and agree with him on almost every point, but I was really disappointed with his defeatist attitude - particularly regarding CBDCs. Makori prodded him and made a great point: Giustra has considerable wealth and influence to defeat CBDCs (as well as guide other potentially dangerous technology), yet he punted on this with a glib "the train has already left the station" attitude. CBDCs can be thwarted with concerted effort and we need men like Giustra on board. Too bad he's not willing to take the lead in any way.
