Last word from the editor

The discussion of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) is quickly gaining momentum and the realization that Bitcoin is a non-fungible surveillance tool is also spreading rapidly. Central to these is the idea of the Panopticon. Many of us have a general idea of what a Panopticon means, I believe only a few know of its origins and implications. Let’s take a look at how it came about and what was the rationale behind its design.

The notion for the Panopticon was conceived by Jeremy Bentham in 1798. The idea first originated from his brother Samuel Bentham, who came up with the “central inspection principle” for the supervision of unskilled laborers by professional craftsmen in Russia. Jeremy adapted his younger brother’s concept to his architectural design for an “inspection house,” known as the Panopticon. His first attempt at its construction was a contract for a prison. At the core of the Panopticon, Bentham sought to create a fundamental imbalance of power between the inmatees and their captors. To enforce this power dynamic, he envisaged a circular structure, with multiple floors of prisoners’ cells built around the wall, and a central focus dominated by an inspection tower.

The Panopticon prison was designed to inspire fear. Jeremy Bentham describes this as “a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind.” The uniqueness of this design is achieved through two intertwined elements. First is the ease of prison guards in monitoring all the prisoners without being seen thus disempowering the prisoners of their privacy and value of self-sovereignty. Second, and perhaps the more detrimental factor, is the idea of “seeing without being seen”, thus imposing a sense of constant surveillance.

The socioanthropological outcome from the constant overbearing fear of surveillance is multifaceted. The imprisonment quickly changes from a physical to an internalized state. Prisoners begin to discipline themselves because they fear that a guard may be watching.

This idea of power through control has guided much of human history. Today, when cameras are around, people tend to regulate and alter their behavior. This happens subconsciously once they become aware that they are being watched. Self-regulation occurs in these situations because they feel the need to conform to norms or be punished if they fail to do so. Just as the fear of implied surveillance altered the behavior of the prisoners, public citizens who feel that they are being constantly monitored whether they are or not, will curtail their actions.

Although Bentham proposed the panopticon for prisons and insane asylums, but most importantly, he intended it for schools, as an incomparable tool of social and psychological conditioning.

The power of surveillance afforded to those with means by Bitcoin is an early supposition of CBDCs. Both are immensely powerful tools not only to monitor financial habits, but more importantly, to impose the fear of monitoring in order to enforce a culture of conformity. Freedom to spend your hard earned money is freedom of living. Start protecting your financial privacy today, to liberate your financial freedom tomorrow.
