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. I would call you a conspiracy theorist not even worthy of Joe Rogan. ‘They are both governments, why would they not see eye to eye on giving their Bankers more powers?’ ‘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. Mkataba wa kuzuia CBDCs kwa Benki ya Fedha Wakati huo huo, katika Ulaya, wanakwenda njia ya CBDCs kwa Benki ya Ulaya. 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. Guess even Bankers’ jobs aren't that sure anymore. Their fault. Definitely with a CBDC, you'll likely be seeing ads like , in your crypto wallet. “invest in our capital market for _ (high) yields” A crypto wallet with ads. Wonder if that will be cool and interesting. Labda ni bora kuajiri toleo la Ulaya la Michael Saylor. Wewe bet ECB itakuwa kujifunza majaribio na majaribio ya masoko, kwa mara moja (wakati wao walikuwa na kawaida tu cranking nje fedha kama wanaona sahihi, juu ya mipango ngumu kutabiri kuliko nani kushinda Premier League ya Ulaya Wakati huo huo, Bitcoin bado ina mpango wa kudumu wa dakika 10). 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. Upendo wao, hasira yao, Benki ni sehemu ya soko huru. Kama vile watengenezaji, waandishi, wanasiasa, wanasheria, wauzaji, na barber katika uchumi wako wa mzunguko wa ndani kuchukua malipo ya bitcoin badala ya fiat. For their sake, though, I hope the Digital Euro CBDC is going to be a very stable coin, so stable it will look like the ECB has hired all humanity to trade its Euro as forex, arbitrage out any negative fluctuations. They'll need some powerful AI to back them up. They should be building an AI trading bot farm rivaling ChatGPT. Kwa sababu CBDCs wanapaswa kudumisha uingiliaji wao kwa fedha za kimwili, vinginevyo, watakuwa . continue failing It is what it is. And it is spicy. The US doesn't care about Bitcoin. They care about their dollar remaining global reserve currency So why didn't I see the US’s anti-CBDC bill as a massive win for the Bitcoin industry? Because stablecoins are not my forte. Dola ya Marekani itafaidika zaidi kutokana na kukuza na soko huru la stablecoins. Huu ni ukiukwaji kamili wa uwezekano kamwe. “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”. Hivyo basi, nina matumaini kwamba Largarde na marafiki zake huunda sarafu yenye thamani kwa wenyewe. Kwa ajabu kama hii inaweza kuonekana, wanaweza sasa kukutana na China na kujadili sarafu za digital. 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. The United States of America is not going to promote a global and inclusive-for-all digital cryptocurrency devoid of national affiliation -- called Bitcoin -- that will put currency dynamics everywhere on an equal footing. Peg them to Math and Physics. And not who has the most military bases. Marekani ni juu ya kukuza dola ya Marekani na kuona kwamba kila mtu Google (au ChatGPT utafutaji) BTC-USD kwa miaka mia moja ijayo. Hivyo wakati huo huo, napenda kusema ECB kujaribu kupata watu kwa Google BTC-EURO hata zaidi. Ili kufanikiwa hata zaidi, wanaweza kuiga tabia ya deflationary ya Bitcoin, imo. Kufanya sarafu yao ya fiat kupata thamani polepole na kwa utabiri. Wanaweza kuunda kupungua kwa nusu ambayo hutokea kila siku. Ni fedha zao, wanafanya sheria. Hakuna mapigano ya chanzo wazi ili kuzuia au kupunguza. 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.
