Introduced by the increasingly repressive Georgian Dream party, the bill is part of a broader effort (including the controversial foreign agents law passed in 2024) designed to silence dissent and dismantle pro-democracy groups. Rights groups warn these laws will cripple civil society by cutting funding and imposing heavy fines for violators. Last week, parliament also read a bill that would grant officials the power to ban opposition parties entirely. With civil society financially repressed, Georgia is sliding further into tyranny, where free expression, political opposition, and grassroots organizations are under siege.

As part of the rollout, 7-Eleven will accept CBDC payments and offer a 10% discount on all products. Governments facing public skepticism regarding their CBDCs increasingly use similar incentive tactics to onboard users. For example, Nigeria discounts taxi fares to push its e-Naira CBDC, while Thailand is distributing its CBDC directly to citizens for free. While South Korea’s CBDC project aims to modernize payments, it is part of a broader push from countries, even democratic ones, to integrate state-controlled digital currencies into everyday transactions. A move that is diametrically opposed to individuals’ freedom, privacy, and human rights.

Turks of all walks of life find themselves united by common outrage at the regime’s ongoing political repression and tumultuous economic conditions. With inflation soaring above 39% and widespread unemployment among the nation’s youth, it’s no surprise Turks are flooding the streets and demanding change. In response to these demonstrations, law enforcement has since detained more than 2,000 demonstrators, and police blockades have met student protesters with water cannon trucks to suppress their dissent. Many young Turks feel their future is slipping away in a country where saving is futile, the currency is collapsing, and speaking out comes at a high personal cost. “This feels like our last chance,” one young protester said, adding, “If we don’t succeed, many of us will have to leave Turkey.” https://hrf.org/latest/hrfs-weekly-financial-freedom-report-69/- Mempool v3.2.0: Stratum Jobs, UTXO Bubble Chart, Address Poisoning Detection & More https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/mempool-v3-2-0/- BTCPay Server v2.1.0 https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs0kt03cg98zddywcsdyj38fvxgxe3qr9xmgfav040yn9ez8c5yk7gxtw36v- Cove Wallet v0.3.0: TAPSIGNER Support https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/cove-wallet-v0-3-0/- RoboSats v0.7.6-alpha: Coordinator Rating Over Nostr https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/robosats-v0-7-6-alpha/- Frostr multisig and key management for nostr https://www.frostr.org/- Odell at MIT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO1QTCLrbB8- Ride or Die Input https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqstvju9txn3fwt8glr49zsmrwwaj05n3344f0n9e958pj7s9d0zm3sara7t3
