Looks like the U.S. did a complete 180 on the Digital Asset industry as a whole, with the approval of the Ethereum ETFs and bipartisan backing of the FIT21 bill and the Central Bank Digital Currency Anti-Surveillance State Act, which would've enabled the Federal Reserve (remember, NOT a government body but a private entity) to create their own CBDC (central bank digital currency). Or as I like to call it, Covert Banking Data Collection. Whether it's a political move or not by the Democrats being pressured by their pundits, this is still a major victory for freedom and sovereignty. #Bitcoin https://lnkd.in/gDnn7NrU

Digital currencies, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, are gaining traction as alternative forms of currency. While they offer a decentralized network, their price volatility remains a concern. Enter Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the digital version of a country's national currency regulated and issued by the central bank. Unlike cryptocurrencies, CBDCs offer a level of stability backed by the government or central bank and can be used for various financial transactions. However, their implementation raises concerns about privacy, as transactions can be tracked and monitored more easily than with physical cash.

✅Truths and ⛔️false about CBDC ⛔️CBDCs are not created for total control of all citizens. Total control of you is already accomplished by a mix of google + bank cards + street cameras, CBDC is not needed for that. ⛔️CBDCs won't be able to replace Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrencies. CBDC like other forms of fiat is a reflection of the state's economy with all the flaws and chips. If the state-issuer feels good, then the fiat is strong, and vise versa. ✅The bank's risk is removed. In other words, the bank can't spend your money on something and fail, like with regular fiat. In the past you could say that poor quality banks exist only in third world countries, but now we have seen banks fail in the US and Switzerland.

Project Polaris "Part 4: A high-level design guide for offline payments with #CBDC" by Bank for International Settlements – BIS Providing offline payments with CBDC is an important requirement for many central banks. Design choices must consider requirements for the whole solution. Trade-offs will exist between different requirements. Central banks can take an iterative approach to design. Central banks should understand their context and objectives for providing offline payments with CBDC before applying any design choices. The overall maturity of offline CBDC payment solutions is evolving: very few are in a live environment working at scale. For offline payments with CBDC, central banks can be a driving force for collaboration and innovation. #Blockchain #CBDC #FinTech
