The IMF’s War on Cash Is Here

30% more businesses have gone cashless since 2020. That’s not a coincidence—it’s a coordinated phase of something much bigger.

The IMF laid out the blueprint nearly a decade ago: eliminate physical cash through retailers first, then introduce programmable money. And it’s working. From reverse ATMs at ballparks to fees on dormant prepaid cards, the “convenience” narrative is being weaponized to close the escape hatch from financial surveillance.

In the latest episode of Gold Rush Hour, we unpack how the war on cash quietly primes the public for central bank digital currencies and why the endgame is absolute control over how, when, and where you spend your money.

What happens when cash is gone and interest rates go negative? What happens when the system decides you can’t use your money to buy gold?

Watch the episode.
