The question in my mind is how are they going to wind down the paper currency. They are already taking physical coins out of circulation, and blaming coin shortages on "the pandemic". Probably they will find some other excuse to do the same with bills (e.g. engineer a paper shortage).
Despite the hair on fire sky screaming this isn't happening overnight and they know they can't make it happen overnight. I don't think you'll see a Beta USDC implementation prior to 2030, paper money will be around for several more decades at least.
The other question is, what will happen with the other cryptocurrencies that are competing with a potential CBDC.
Examples? Because I haven't seen one crypto that is a viable currency able to compete on both the front and back end of payments/settlements or able to eventually compete with a USDC that's capable of processing trillions of transactions.

This link lands on a page at the Federal Reserve site that offers the public a chance to send comments to Fed regarding their concept of a Central Bank Digital Currency. See the "Submit Feedback" button at the bottom of the page.
So it should be possible to send criticisms and concerns to the people who are proposing the Fedcoin, but whether or not they are actually going to read and respond to public comments is dubious.

The same sort of prerequisite that "they" get to define, but dont worry theyll be TOTALLY honest on if youre a "cheat" or not........sort of like "Well if youre not a criminal then you shouldnt be worried about the gov spying on you"
But some people will never learn, and even more will just keep pushing the narrative

I'm assuming the so-called "stable coins" would be the only competition to a CBDC.
I am not privy to the requirements you are, but I'm assuming that Fedcoin can work without having to manage an ever-growing blockchain that has to be synchronized globally, and updated and copied around by many different participants/miners.

Because of the ledger. We know people pay cash now to avoid taxes, that's why I brought it up.

Just so everyone knows the reality of all this, Augustus truly knows the backend of fedcoin as he states. regardless of how you like or dislike his posts, he has solid information on that, info that most won't get for a long time after things happen, so please take all that for what it's worth.
As for the social credit score business, watch all that closely, and don't discount anyone's info until you have verified it several places. The OP has a history of being a solid member as well, without needless bullsh!t.
Point is, know who you can trust and why. I'm nobody, so don't trust me, but verify what is being said before you dismiss it out of hand. We are quite lucky to have the group we have here for many reasons.
Happy Friday eve all, and remember, now is a perfect time to buy a fat guy a beer. that is all, lots of love to all.
