Digital currencies and #cryptocurrency are inefficient solutions but inefficient in order to be independent, distributed, without central control. So the whole notion of having one which is controlled by a central bank is an oxymoron and adds very little end user value. <br/><br/>Happy to be proven wrong, happy to hear what the case is.
