Central Government Bank and Corporate Fiat Control Shitcoins. This isn't Facebook's Libra for Lols, this is Government and Banks, the very thing OG cryptocurrency philosophy is rightly against... it's told right there in the Genesis Block. If CBDC's are allowed to weasel their way into this space, this last new frontier, to wrap their digital tentacles around you, and win... you will lose, forever. This latest US Government CBDC rumbling... for "individuals and business to use for payments", to "protect the dollar as the world's reserve currency"... is a trick upon the world and must be fought. The new world is about distributed, privacy, scaling, mineable, fungible, permissionless, uncensorable, unstoppable, etc, and much more... freedom... for all. Make it so. " " Digital Dollar Project Leading the discussion on a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency 2020-01-08 The Digital Dollar Project is a partnership between Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and the Digital Dollar Foundation to advance exploration of a United States Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The purpose of the Project is to encourage research and public discussion on the potential advantages of a digital dollar, convene private sector thought leaders and actors, and propose possible models to support the public sector. The Project will develop a framework for potential, practical steps that can be taken to establish a dollar CBDC. Digital Dollar Project Announcement The Digital Dollar Foundation and Accenture Announce the Launch Of The Digital Dollar Project Image_Hero_1_top.jpg Washington, D.C., Jan. 16, 2020 – “The digital 21st century is underserved by an analog reserve currency,” said Chris Giancarlo. “A digital dollar would help future-proof the greenback and allow individuals and global enterprises to make payments in dollars irrespective of space and time. We are launching the Digital Dollar Project to catalyze a digital, tokenized U.S. currency that would coexist with other Federal Reserve liabilities and serve as a settlement medium to meet the demands of the new digital world and a cheaper, faster and more inclusive global financial system.” The purpose of the Project is to encourage research and public discussion on the potential advantages of a digital dollar, convene private sector thought leaders and actors, and propose possible models to support the public sector. The Project will develop a framework for potential, practical steps that can be taken to establish a dollar CBDC. Press Release Image_break_2_Davos.jpg Digital Dollar Project Issue Briefing The time has come to explore options for a digital dollar, and the principal members of the Digital Dollar Foundation (The Foundation) have sounded the call for this needed dollar innovation. Together with Accenture, a global leader in CBDC advancement, the Foundation has formed the “Digital Dollar Project” (the Project) to study potential avenues to utilize U.S. digital dollar tokenization and its implications on the U.S. and global economic and financial systems. The Project will seek to facilitate a public debate about a U.S. dollar CBDC adoption. To ensure the dollar can serve the broadest possible range of uses in a increasingly digital global economy and thereby maintain its privileged position and support orderly adjustment in international monetary relations, consideration needs to be given to plans to adopt a digital dollar issued by the Federal Reserve System (Fed). Project Brief Image_break_3.jpg Project Directors The Digital Dollar Project has been created to formally lead the initiative of educating policy makers, organizing key industry stakeholders, and proposing a U.S. CBDC strategy.
