If you told me that the USA and Europe would have a clash over the powers of Bankers (capital B - the ones that can print money), proudly sponsored by Bitcoin (because it ushered in monetary blockchain technology), I probably wouldn't have listened to you. Jeg vil kalde dig en konspirationsteoretiker, der ikke engang fortjener Joe Rogan. "De er begge regeringer, hvorfor skulle de ikke se ansigt til ansigt på at give deres bankfolk mere magt?" ‘And how the hell would a digital currency nobody is in charge of, create this gross policy rift?’ Well well, it is July 2025 and the USA has and its child nodes. Underskrevet i lovgivning forbuddet mod CBDCs for sin Federal Reserve Bank I mellemtiden, i Europa, de går vejen for CBDCs for Den Europæiske Bank. The ECB is trying to remain relevant in the digital space As the article's title image reveals, the ECB recently wanted clients to invest their savings (?!) in its capital markets products. Some of this money will likely go towards engineering you a great CBDC, dear European reader. Bankers doubling as Developers, times have indeed changed. Gæt selv bankernes job er ikke så sikre længere. Definitely with a CBDC, you'll likely be seeing ads like , in your crypto wallet. “invest in our capital market for _ (high) yields” En kryptovaluta med annoncer. undre sig over, om det vil være cool og interessant. Det kan være bedre at ansætte en europæisk version af Michael Saylor. klar til at skubbe euroens interesser. It will all be new, that's for sure. You bet the ECB is going to learn the trials and tribulations of marketing, for once (they were used to just cranking out cash as they see fit, on schedules harder to predict than who will win the European Premier League I mellemtiden har Bitcoin stadig en stabil forudsigelig tidsplan på 10 minutter). Being a believer in (actual) free market capitalism (devoid of annoying central bank cheating - CBC), I would be expected to side with the Trump administration who are promoting market driven dollar stablecoins. However, Christine Largarde and her Banker friends who are promoting a Central Bank - driven stablecoin will also usher in innovation. To give them a benefit of the doubt, Bankers brag over being more skilled at financial wizardry than crypto bros. Being a Bitcoiner, I got my popcorn. Paolo Ardoino and his USDT will have to wrestle new competition in the European field. Love them, hate them, Bankers are part of the free market. Just like devs, writers, politicians, lawyers, speculators, and the barber in your local circular economy taking bitcoin payments instead of fiat. For deres skyld håber jeg dog, at Digital Euro CBDC vil være en meget stabil mønt, så stabil det vil se ud, som om ECB har hyret hele menneskeheden til at handle sin Euro som forex, arbitrage ud eventuelle negative udsving. De skal bygge en AI trading bot farm rivaliserende ChatGPT. Fordi CBDC'er skal opretholde deres vedhæftning til fysiske fiat kontanter, ellers vil de . continue failing It is what it is. And it is spicy. USA er ligeglad med Bitcoin. De er ligeglade med deres dollar forbliver global reservevaluta Så hvorfor så jeg ikke USA's anti-CBDC-lovgivning som en massiv sejr for Bitcoin-industrien? The US dollar will benefit better from being promoted by the free market of stablecoins. As is happening already. It is the perfect plausible deniability ever. “Oh, the US government has no hands in the mechanics of cryptocurrency stablecoins. Don't you see, it is all these brilliant innovators in the free market”. So yes, I hope Largarde and her friends create a worthwhile currency for themselves. Strange as this may sound, they might now have to meet with China and discuss digital currencies. Because their policy shift needs European bankers and bank clients to have a much bigger level of national pride in what they're doing, similar to Chinese zeal for national progress. USA vil ikke fremme en global og inklusiv digital cryptocurrency uden national tilknytning - kaldet Bitcoin - som vil sætte valuta dynamikken overalt på lige fod. Peg dem til matematik og fysik. og ikke hvem der har de mest militære baser. The US is out to promote the US dollar and to see that everybody Googles (or ChatGPT searches) BTC-USD for the next hundred years. No matter their country. So in the meanwhile, I say let the ECB try to get people to Google BTC-EURO even more. To succeed even more, they could copy Bitcoin's deflationary nature, imo. Make their fiat currency gain value slowly and predictably. They could engineer a halving that happens everyday. It's their money, they make the rules. No open-source battles to stop them or slow them down. This won’t be like the physical euro which loses value, but people don't want shite both in reality and in the virtual world.
