Digital money instead of cash – the future of finance or a tool of control?

In your opinion, is the introduction of central bank digital currency (CBDC) and the complete withdrawal of cash a good solution?

Central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a topic that excites public opinion around the world. Supporters see it as the future of finance – the end of printing costs, instant payments, and complete convenience in everyday life. However, critics warn that the total elimination of cash could mean the death of anonymity and the last guarantee of citizens’ financial freedom. The introduction of CBDC in the hands of the state could give authorities a tool for full control over spending – from limiting “harmful” purchases to blocking politically incorrect transactions. There are also conspiracy theories that CBDC is a prelude to the social credit system known from China. Will we give up privacy in exchange for convenience?

Cryptocurrencies – financial freedom, rebellion against the system, or a tool of control?

What, in your opinion, was the true purpose of creating cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin?

Cryptocurrencies have sparked debate about their true purpose since the beginning. For some, Bitcoin is a symbol of freedom – a response to the 2008 crisis, a way to become independent from central banks and governments that are increasingly moving toward eliminating cash. Others argue that it is simply a speculative bubble, perfect for pumping capital and draining the savings of the masses, while a small group of insiders become millionaires. There are also voices claiming that cryptocurrencies were designed from the start as a tool for the black market – an anonymous currency for trading weapons, drugs, and services banned in the legal economy. Is Bitcoin a revolution, a scam, or a hidden tool of mafias and intelligence agencies?

September 11, 2001

How do you think the events of September 11, 2001 in the USA should be interpreted?

For some, September 11, 2001 remains a classic Al-Qaeda terrorist attack led by Osama bin Laden. For others, it was a “false flag” operation prepared by American services to gain public support for restricting civil liberties and to justify the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Popular conspiracy theories also point to the possible role of the Israeli Mossad, arguing that many influential Jews did not show up for work at the WTC that day. Doubts also surround the Pentagon – was it really hit by a passenger plane, or rather a missile? Controversy is further fueled by the miraculously recovered passport of one of the hijackers and the almost “perfect” way the towers collapsed, which for many is evidence of planted explosives. Terrorist attack or perfectly staged conspiracy?

Should the West restrict Islam the same way Islam restricts other religions?

Since in many Muslim countries Islam does not allow the presence of other religions and their symbols, should Western states accept Islam on their territory?

Islam and its place in the Western world is a topic that divides societies and reveals the deepest tensions between religious freedom and concerns about security and cultural identity. Critics point out that in many Muslim states Christianity or Judaism are restricted, and religious symbols are outright banned. They ask why the West should be “naively open” to Islam. Supporters of pluralism reply that freedom of religion is a cornerstone of democracy and cannot be limited on the basis of reciprocity. Increasingly, however, voices arise that acceptance must not mean permitting practices that contradict the laws or customs of a given country. Should the West defend its values, even if it means restricting Islam?

Voting rights of seniors – generational balance or demographic dominance?

Should people above retirement age who no longer work have a limited influence on elections, given that seniors now outnumber younger voters?

The voting rights of seniors is a subject that ignites emotions like a spark on a powder keg. On one hand, the older generation has every right to decide, as they built the state and paid taxes for decades. On the other, critics point out that the demographic dominance of seniors distorts balance, as they decide on a future they may not live to see. Controversial proposals are emerging: from reducing the weight of their vote to completely stripping people of retirement age of their voting rights. It sounds like heresy against democracy, yet the debate increasingly circles back to the question of whether the electoral system truly reflects generational balance, or instead blocks changes that would benefit the young. And you – whose side are you on?

Voting rights and living on welfa

Should people who live exclusively on social welfare have the right to vote?

Voting rights and living on welfare is a topic that has sparked heated disputes for years and questions the very foundations of democracy. For some, it is obvious that every citizen has a voice regardless of their source of income – because that is what the constitution guarantees. Others provocatively ask whether someone living solely off other people’s taxes should decide how that money is spent. This strikes at the dilemma of equality before the law versus citizens’ financial responsibility. Supporters of restrictions warn against “buying votes” through welfare programs, while opponents see in it the threat of creating second-class citizens. Is this still democracy, or already a system based on economic selection?
