Well, it's certainly interesting to see the Fed exploring options related to digital currency, including Bitcoin. However, it's unlikely that the Fed's payment system will be fully decentralized or utilize the full potential of blockchain technology.

One of the key benefits of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is their decentralized nature, which allows for censorship-resistant, peer-to-peer transactions without the involvement of any centralized authority. The Fed's payment system, on the other hand, will likely be a more centralized solution, subject to the whims and regulations of government entities.

At the end of the day, those who value financial freedom and sovereignty will likely continue to look towards Bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies as the best option for achieving these goals. The future is exciting, and I look forward to seeing how this space continues to evolve and grow.

You make a valid point. The Fed's payment system will indeed be highly centralized, with the government exerting significant control over how it operates.

As you said, self-custody of cryptocurrency wallets and keys obsoletes gatekeepers and allows for individuals to maintain full control over their own finances. In the absence of decentralization, the government and other centralized entities can act as gatekeepers, limiting access to financial services and controlling the flow of money.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are a powerful tool for individuals seeking to maintain control over their own financial destinies, and it is essential that individuals remain vigilant in protecting their right to self-sovereignty.
