Crypto Crossroads: How the Genius Act Averted a Digital Currency Power Grab
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO, November 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Christian Briggs guests on InfoWars and Examines the U.S. Legislative Pushback Against Centralized Digital Finance
In this explosive episode from July 18, 2025, Christian Briggs guests on InfoWars to break down what nearly happened had Trump not won this term and the centralized monetary system that was already being built behind closed doors.
The episode explores how the legislation curtailed executive authority to mandate a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and preserved individual autonomy in financial transactions. At the time of the episode’s release, bipartisan support for the measure reflected growing concern over privacy, data security, and the potential for federal oversight of personal assets through programmable money.
“The Genius Act was a well-written bill. It had a couple things that needed to be clarified,” said Christian Briggs. “And what they did was they clarified some additional language to prevent a central bank centralized coin or centralized digital currency to be deployed at any time in the future because as good as Trump is he's not going to be around forever.”
Briggs outlines the competing interests at stake: federal agencies advocating digital infrastructure for transparency and efficiency, versus private citizens and industry leaders warning against surveillance and control. The discussion highlights how blockchain technology, when properly decentralized, can coexist with traditional banking systems without eroding civil or economic rights.
The episode also examines global parallels, including the European Union’s digital euro initiative and China’s expanding e-yuan program, underscoring the geopolitical consequences of digital currency dominance. Briggs analyzes how the Genius Act reinforced the U.S. dollar’s independence while protecting market-driven innovation across the crypto and fintech sectors.
