Ray Dalio Warns of ‘Zero Privacy’ in Future CBDCs; Is SUBBD the Decentralized Alternative for Users?

Source Newsbtc
What to Know:
  • Ray Dalio warns that CBDCs will likely eliminate financial privacy, giving governments total visibility and control over personal spending.
  • The risk of censorship in banking is pushing the $191B content creation industry toward decentralized, Web3 alternatives.
  • SUBBD Token integrates AI tools and Ethereum-based payments to prevent de-platforming and reduce fees for creators.

Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates founder and macroeconomic oracle, has never been shy about predicting shifts in the global order. But his recent commentary on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) paints a specifically dystopian picture.

Speaking on the ‘Tucker Carlson Show’, his core warning? As governments digitize sovereign currencies, transactional anonymity will be the first casualty. Unlike cash (which leaves no digital footprint) or crypto (designed for pseudonymity), CBDCs grant central banks total visibility into every purchase, transfer, and saving habit.

It fundamentally alters the relationship between the individual and the state. When money becomes programmable, it stops being just a store of value; it becomes a tool for policy enforcement.

Dalio’s warning suggests a future where purchasing power is curtailed based on social credit, carbon footprints, or even political affiliation. The financial system is bifurcating: a state-surveilled centralized lane on one side, and a decentralized alternative fighting for sovereignty on the other.

The implications extend far beyond simple banking. If financial rails can be censored, the industries relying on them, specifically content creation and independent media, are essentially sitting ducks.

We’ve already seen ‘Operation Choke Point 2.0’ where legal businesses get debanked for ‘reputational risks.’ With the $191B creator economy facing tightening restrictions from centralized processors, the market is hunting for Web3 alternatives outside the reach of potential CBDC surveillance.

That search for censorship-resistant infrastructure is driving attention toward platforms like SUBBD Token ($SUBBD), which aims to sever the creator economy from traditional financial gatekeepers.

SUBBD Disassociates Content from Centralized Control Through AI and Web3

The current creator economy has a fatal flaw: reliance on Web2 intermediaries. Platforms like OnlyFans or Patreon dictate terms, take massive revenue cuts, sometimes up to 70% when you factor in agency and processing fees, and hold the power to de-platform users without recourse.

Dalio’s CBDC warning just makes this scarier. If the underlying currency becomes programmable, a creator could be demonetized at the protocol level of the money itself, not just by a platform admin.

SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) is pitching itself as the antithesis to that surveillance-heavy model. Built on Ethereum ($ETH), SUBBD uses an EVM-compatible architecture to ensure transactions remain transparent yet permissionless. The project merges this decentralized financial layer with high-utility AI tools.

Instead of relying on centralized algorithms that often suppress organic reach, SUBBD hands creators AI Personal Assistants for automated interactions and proprietary AI Voice Cloning. Influencers can scale their presence (and revenue) without selling their data rights to a centralized entity.

SUBBD Token benefits explained.

It’s about sovereignty. In the SUBBD ecosystem, payments are peer-to-peer, governed by smart contracts rather than arbitrary corporate policy. For fans, that means access to token-gated exclusive content that can’t be blocked by a bank manager or a government censor.

For creators, it means retaining control over their earnings and their digital likeness. Is it surprising that creators are fleeing legacy platforms when Web3 offers both better fees and actual ownership?

Presale Data Signals Shift Toward Decentralized Creator Economies

Smart money is increasingly betting on utility tokens that solve specific, high-friction problems. While memecoins rely on fleeting sentiment (and let’s be honest, gambling), SUBBD Token attacks the structural failures of the content industry. The project’s presale performance suggests the narrative is sticking, it has already raised over $1.4M from early supporters.

Currently priced at $0.057495, the token is the platform’s economic engine. Beyond simple transactions, the tokenomics are designed to encourage long-term holding rather than mercenary capital rotation. SUBBD offers a fixed 20% APY for staking during the first year.

That aggressive yield strategy locks up supply while the platform scales, potentially creating a supply squeeze if creator demand accelerates as predicted.

Traders are eyeing the token’s ‘dual-threat’ capability: it captures value from the AI boom, through features like AI influencer creation, and the Web3 payment revolution simultaneously. With multiple monetization routes (PPV, NFT sales, tipping) free from the ‘debanking’ fear Dalio warns against, the valuation gap between SUBBD and legacy platforms looks interesting.

Frankly, as regulatory pressure mounts on traditional fintech, the premium on decentralized alternatives will likely expand.
