I feel like we all had to be thinking that a large government was going to try to make a digital fiat currency before bitcoin goes on the next bull run. Am curious of the possible scenarios that could play out.

Why are people so panicked about the fiat digital? The way I see it that’s the equivalent to asking the normies “do you want a U.S.A sponsored internet, a China sponsored internet or the internet as it is today” I feel normies are dumb but not that dumb especially If the fiat is inflated to kingdom come they should decide on BTC and crypto.

Only if there's an actually decentralized entity allowing you to give money to someone without (((someone))) in the middle.
Paper is more handy in many situations too, cannot be completely discarded as an option.

I think they might be that dumb. All it would take is a media campaign fudding crypti as a bad store of wealth and unsafe investment, while downplaying the level of control the governments would have over digital fiat.

Digital fiat is the gateway drug that leads to negative interest on consumer savings accounts. Right now if you put a stack of hundreds under your matress all they can do is inflate it away, if we go full idgital they can just charge you -% on your savings directly instead. Only people who already own physical assets will be somewhat sheltered, everyone else joing the new class of working poor where saving past the end of your paycheck is pointless.

>> No.18533532

Well ultimately I think the digital fiat is here to stay. How do you believe this will play out? Will crypto devise so type of hype/marketing plan? Or will the government convince the world crypto is bad. (Honestly I believe the average person will just decide what will provide them with more money if it truly is a better solution for them?)

How could this be effectively done? There will always be precious objects. Even if private ownership of PMs was banned, there’s still jewelry and other valuable if not quite precious metals that would be hard to ban private ownership of, like copper zinc and tin.

none, they just try to get on with the technology smart and programmable money that you can use as cash offline maybe. but that's problematic because doing it without a timestamping server and determine objectively in what order the transactions were made or is there a malicious rollback on the spenders side is literally impossible.
what's possible is that you make this rollback illegal and the state authority enforces the rules of the blockchain.

It would make it a lot easier for Crypto to achieve adoption. In the long run, banks would die or at least stop existing in their current form.

>> No.18533651

>>18533611
and to determine which was the correct chain of signatures you need BOTH parties to sign a transaction both the sender and the receiver and the signatures have to contain a timestamp they agree on in the handshake.

this timestamp that can be millisecond accurate will ensure that ordering the transactions to the global ledger is always deterministic.

doing a double spend is akin to writing a bogus check you can't even pretend was by someone else. but the blockchain can not enforce the replacement of the invalid transactions with a valid one it must be up for violence enacted by state.

i am absolutely curious if this will work.

>> No.18533719

>>18533651
well thinking about this it's still not gonna work very well because altho the spender can't produce someone else's signature retrospectively but he can produce one with an accomplice or a second wallet.

so basically doing offline crpyto transfers is a clusterfuck that can not be sorted out by normal blockchain rules. and offline spending distributing commingling offline spent coins creates an even more disturbing state of fucked.

sooner or later people will realize that bitcoin altho seems limited and cumbersome is the only crypto that ever truly solved this problem to an degree.

Will be just like crypto minus all the good features and with a ton of bad ones implemented on purpose, with a few catastrophic bugs here and there. It will work exactly as intended and no one will want to use it, but they will be forced to use it. Some straight up satanic shit. Hope someone murders a bunch of politicians, preferably by torture.

frankly if you think about it ditching the paper money in itself is a huge pro. unsanitary economically disastrous dumb and hard to trace when investigating criminal activity.

but the custodial model used by banks is also shit. so even if the new currency is entirely state controlled and not perfect as in not trustless or permissionless just secure enough (and especially you have legal backing for honest players) and convenient and cheap it will see huge adoption.

>> No.18534010

The govt will NEVER issue a currency that they do not control the supply of.

The govt will NEVER issue a currency where they cannot totally control who can use it and for what.

Here is what they will do: they will set up USD pegged "Fedcoin" which will be centrally printed, permissioned, with no privacy, and seizable at-will by LEO. The media will vomit out a huge propaganda push gushing about how it's a "revolution" without explaining how.

All the major companies and banks suckling on uncle sam's teats will obediently start accepting it, welfare will be issued in it, and they will try to push it on our trade partners as well.

Then they will move against the exchanges and anyone they can reach with subpoenas to suppress actual crypto. "why do you need that scary bitcoin, don't you know only terrorists and drug dealers use that?" They will offer a 1 time amnesty of swapping bitcoins to fedcoins, but after that they will put the boots to it. This will drive the market underground and hugely depress the value of cryptocurrencies.

From there the future is uncertain, but most likely Lolbertarians gay little insurgency against the central bankers will fail in the near term because they forgot that fiat is backed by the ultimate form of value: violence.

TLDR: Central banks will panic and lash out at a threat to their power. Nerds still hodling the bag will get crushed. Crypto may still win in the end, but not for many more years, and not in the US. The currency wars are getting spicy. Buy gold, dummy.

there are two key elements you are mistaken in
1 central banks don't see bitcoin as a threat
they are perfectly aware it could never replace fiat unless they fuck up so badly that there are no words for it.
2 they are more afraid of corporate sovereign currencies than real crypto stable coins by a landslide
they see the real threat in international conglomerates creating their own money and own markets that no country has control over becoming states over states. that's what they care about not your doge.

>1 central banks don't see bitcoin as a threat

I was being flip. Bitcoin specifically is a joke, but they fear what else may emerge. If order of magnitude scalability improvement actually happens, crypto suddenly gets a whole lot more usable/threatening.

>unless they fuck up so badly

They're hard at work on fucking up as we speak.

Agree with point #2, at the present. Zuck will get kneecaped for getting to big for his britches. Though it doesn't change the outcome I described, they will go after all competition.

The current fiat currencys are essentially digital atm
There is more digital than physical money if i remember right
I believe they will try to erase cash completely with the next generation of fiat currency
Next fiat currency will be batshit crazy and basically a surveillance and tax system
Innoffical currencys will gain uses but crypto is impractical as fuck desu and to create and use a wallet that is untraceable is annoying af if i understand this right
