Fed partnering with MIT to develop "hypothetical digital currency"

[Faith 23]

This really caught my attention. I'm not very versed in end times stuff but this shook me a bit and has me wondering more about a cashless society and/or one world currency. I would love to read some thoughts on it. I have provided the link below.

I have heard a lot about cashless transactions as the norm in the end of the age. How would cashless come about from 'can't but or sell without the mark' is what I wonder.

Isn't the mark more like a ration card? If you have it you can purchase or sell. How does this remove any value transaction?

once we have gone to a cashless society once the beast takes over he can close everyone's accounts and until you worship him and take his mark you can't do any transactions in the system.  It's coming but we don't need to fear it....    no matter what the system is used it still comes to worshiping the beast or die.

Sure. I understand the concept. I was wondering how the logic works to get from 'cannot buy or sell without the mark' to 'no cash transactions'.

Cashless would mean cash transactions are illegal and all that ever does is create a black market. Drugs, weapons, ivory, poaching, sex trade etc., all illegal, huge black market for each.

I wonder if this is really the way the mark affects the earth.

I see the mark as a means of expediting enforcement of the "worship or die" ultimatum of the image, the mark itself being an acceptance of the man of sin.  Controlling someone's access to their money causes them to respond sooner rather than later.

According to scripture if any man worships the beast or recieves its mark they shall drink from the cup of the wrath of God. 

There is only one location given in the Bible that recieves the cup of the wrath of God. 

Babylon the great.

The king of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu is developing a cashless society for the purpose of collecting taxes. Thier view is they can't tax the black market if cash is in use.

I expect he will mark (God's chosen people) with the mark of Israel,the mark of Jerusalem.

I don't disagree.

I'm wondering how we get from 'hina me tis agorazo e poleo' or 'albeit not anyone to have power to purchase or exchange' to 'no cash'. 

It's may be a small thing but it seems the restriction is in the act of the transaction and not the medium of exchange. 

Rev 13 seems to say 'one cannot even exchange 5 chickens for an axe head' rather than 'no access to chickens'.

I see they are looking into it. It's not a done deal and I guess time will tell how far it goes. 

The truism, "The love of money is the root of all evil." will hold true to the end, imo. Money isn't going anywhere as far as I can see. What a person can do with that money will be restricted depending on your loyalties for sure. But coin or paper is still the metric of power. It's Satan's particular talent to engage in commerce. That's another reason why I think it's the transaction itself that's controlled.

By the multitude of your trade they have filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I will cast you as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you.

You have defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading; - Eze 28

Out of the mountain of God.!!!

Interesting location given there.
