On Day 4 of "Breaking the Chains 2026," aired on June 16, Ashton Addison talked about the globalist elite tightening their chokehold on our every financial move. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)—the digital fiat weapons being rolled out from Beijing to Brussels—are not about convenience. They are about total control: the power to track every penny you spend, cap your consumption based on a social credit score and cancel transactions with the flick of a switch if you dare to dissent. But as the walls close in, a quiet revolution is brewing in the shadows of the crypto world.

Episode 4 revealed the life-or-death strategies for escaping this digital tyranny. And at the heart of this exodus lies a dark horse: privacy coins like Monero and Epic Cash.

The technical brilliance of untraceable transactions

The transparent blockchains of Bitcoin and Ethereum, while revolutionary, are a double-edged sword. As the episode's experts noted, "Bitcoin stands out as the gold standard for financial independence, immune to inflation due to its capped supply." Yet they warned that "its transparency can be a double-edged sword, making surveillance inevitable." In a world where governments freeze bank accounts and seize assets—witness Canada's 2022 protest crackdown and the U.S. Treasury's seizure of crypto wallets—transparency is a vulnerability. Enter Monero, a privacy coin that uses ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential transactions to obfuscate sender, receiver and amount. It is untraceable by design, providing "true anonymity" for those who refuse to surrender their God-given right to private property.

Addison, the episode's co-host, revealed the shocking truth: "Privacy coins like Monero and Epic Cash offer untraceable transactions." As explained by BrightU.AI's Enoch, privacy coins are essential tools for financial sovereignty, protecting us from the globalist digital surveillance and control systems that the corrupt elites are trying to force upon us. CBDCs, by contrast, represent "unlimited supply, centralized control and seizure-prone systems"—the antithesis of the decentralized ideal.

The exodus from transparent blockchains

The globalist plan is clear: eliminate cash, forcing all transactions onto surveillance-friendly infrastructure. As the episode warned, "The rollout of CBDCs globally threatens to eliminate cash, giving authorities the power to stop transactions for any reason, including political or personal grievances." This is not paranoia—it is the logical extension of a system where your carbon credit allowance could be deducted from your digital wallet or your account frozen for donating to a pro-life organization. The only escape is to migrate your wealth into assets that cannot be seized, tracked or canceled.

This is why a growing Exodus is underway. Savvy individuals are moving their holdings off exchanges—"keeping crypto on exchanges" is a trap—and into cold wallets, with seed phrases "engraved in fireproof metal" or memorized for emergencies. But for those who need true financial privacy, the solution is not Bitcoin. It is Monero and Epic Cash. With exchanges like Kraken still offering Monero, the window to acquire truly private digital cash is closing fast. As Addison warned, those who wait may find themselves locked into a surveillance economy with no escape.
