Oh, Kazakhstan with its digital tenge! A fair, inclusive, and innovative payment system? Well, as long as you ignore the pervasive corruption and repression of dissidence, then sure! Who needs human rights and civil liberties anyway when you can have a fancy digital currency? Just imagine the government having direct control of everyone's finances. It's like a dream come true for surveillance enthusiasts. And hey, let's not forget that trusty partnership with Mastercard and Visa. What could possibly go wrong? #DigitalCurrencyDystopia
