It looks like Sweden is set to lunch the E-Kroner sometime soon. I have mixed feelings about this as there is a pretty large cash economy here in the UK. The funny part of the 1st article is that even the homeless carry around portable CC machines to beg! Anyway, how do you regulate it, what is backing it Maybe I am just old. Will this kill the petro-dollar? Thats WW3 right there. LOL

I just see too many problems, hacking, government/corporation spying. I like a wad of dollars sometimes. Especially in Vegas.

I agree when a cryptocurrency is being issued by a goverment it's open to all sorts of manipulation. One of the great things about Bitcoin is that it's not suceptible to such manipulation
