Fedcoin: pie in the sky

The advantages of cash far outweigh any advantages of a cyber currency. It's for all these reasons that Americans should reject Fedcoin

During the Obama administration, Marxists came up with the idea of creating Fedcoin to replace physical money altogether. The idea was to create a new cyber currency like Bitcoin but controlled by the Fed. In 2016, there was an article in Moneywise titled, U.S. Government Awards $7 Billion to Develop New Fedcoin, and it stated: “At this year’s ‘World Economic Forum’ in Davos, Switzerland, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz declared that the U.S. “could and should move to a digital currency and get rid of (paper) currency.”* Ironically, no honest reason has ever been given to justify the move to cyber currency.

Moreover, the article went on to say, “Last year, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers declared it was “time to kill the $100 bill”… arguing that, by making large bills illegal, it would reduce crime. So far the Fed’s heavily funded research is paying off… The FBI already knows how to seize digital currencies. The Marshal’s Service know how to sell it. The IRS know how to tax it. And now, the Federal Reserve could copy it to rid the U.S. of cash.”

They are the auditors so it still won’t work. They would fake the books just like they do already in everything else controlled by government. We need to be way past the point of thinking the rule makers will themselves play by the rules. They won’t.

The whole point of block-chain/cryto-currency is the INABILITY to fake the process. One word that ANY ‘backdoor’ exists (and the hackers, white > black *WILL* be attempting to find any/all) and it becomes worthless instantly.

The only way, IMO, is to return to Const. currency. Harder to fake weights/measures/etc. But that would take down ALL the Socialist ‘safety net(s)’ that even the (R)N(C) pretends to shake their fists at.
