20201014, Last week, the government of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, held a lottery giving away a total of 10 million digital yuan (about 1.7 billion won). Nearly 2 million people applied, and 50,000 winners each received 200 digital yuan (about 34,000 won). Shenzhen said Walmart, local supermarkets, and pharmacies also took part in the digital yuan payment trial. #digitalcurrency
The worries that began with concerns over Facebook's digital currency, Libra, are now pushing governments everywhere straight toward digital currencies of their own.
Once currency goes digital, meticulous tracking and control become possible, and that will give even more wings to the already-strengthened post-pandemic grip of governments. I'm curious how the coming showdown will play out between this and cryptocurrency, which started out flying the flag of decentralization. #cryptocurrency
