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?

EU–Mercosur Agreement – benefit or threat?

How do you assess the plan to ratify the EU–Mercosur trade agreement, taking into account economic gains and controversies around agriculture and pesticides?

The EU–Mercosur trade deal has divided public opinion and politicians for years. On the one hand, opening the market to 260 million consumers from South America would mean huge opportunities for European exporters, especially in the automotive and technology industries. On the other hand, farmers warn of a flood of cheap meat and soybeans produced with pesticides banned in Europe. Critics even speak of “double standards” and a betrayal of European agriculture, while environmentalists warn that the agreement will accelerate the destruction of the Amazon. Free trade supporters counter that the EU economy cannot afford isolation. So is this deal a strategic opportunity, or an ecological and social trap?

George Soros – brilliant investor or global manipulator?

Do you think George Soros, known for his massive financial operations (e.g. the attack on the pound in 1992), uses his capital power to manipulate markets and politics?

George Soros has been stirring emotions for decades like no other investor. For some he is “the man who broke the Bank of England on Black Wednesday” – a financial master and visionary whose move in 1992 became a symbol of the power of speculation. For Russia, Thailand, or Malaysia he remains a ruthless manipulator, capable of triggering recession and political chaos with a single flow of capital. Critics point out that his foundations supported the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and Georgia and interfere in the internal affairs of states. Supporters, on the other hand, see him as a philanthropist fighting for democracy and human rights. Is Soros a brilliant free market strategist or an architect of global manipulation?

The Walton family – entrepreneurial giants or too much power over America?

Do you think the Walton family (owners of the Walmart chain) has too much influence on the economy and everyday life of Americans?

The Walton family, behind the retail giant Walmart, has sparked extreme emotions in the U.S. for decades. On one hand, they are seen as a symbol of entrepreneurship and the American dream, on the other – as monopolists who crush local stores and dictate working conditions for millions of people. Critics emphasize that Walmart, through its size and political influence, has a real impact on the economy, consumer culture, and Americans’ daily lives. Supporters see it as a chance for cheap shopping and stable employment. In the background, conspiracy theories circulate about the sources of the Waltons’ power and their ties to political elites. And you – has one family’s control over the market gone too far?

Rockefellers and Gates – philanthropy for the good of humanity or a hidden health agenda?

How do you assess the influence of the Rockefeller family, and currently the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, on modern medicine and global health policy?

The influence of the Rockefeller family and today’s Gates Foundation on global health has been sparking debate for decades. On one hand, their philanthropy led to the creation of research institutes, global epidemic control programs, and the founding of the WHO, which many see as the foundation of modern medicine. On the other hand, critics argue that this philanthropy is not selfless – it is tied to the interests of pharmaceutical corporations, the promotion of selected therapies at the expense of natural methods, and the centralization of control over health policy. Conspiracy theories even claim that they are behind the monopolization of public health, allegedly proven by the billions in vaccine profits. Is this genuine philanthropy or an agenda hidden under the mask of charity?
