Showed this to some normie colleagues at work… they’d never heard of a CDBC before, but their lack of trust in the government and the central bank to manage security or respect their privacy leaves me some hope.
I'm doing the Bank of Canada survey on CBDCs & it's disturbing, I'm over 60% done, but here's a few highlights 👇🏼
🚨 If you're Canadian, do the survey! https://twitter.com/bankofcanada/status/1655603693264203777?t=pwUEVZiE_0penkIa11OBLQ&s=19
There's inherent bias in the questions, which may skew how people percieve other options like Bitcoin:
Also, the answers seem to imply they intend to impose limits for how much $ Canadians can hold or receive - they should be asking instead whether we should treat digital dollars like cash if they intend to replace cash
The consultation is overall childish, I hope there's an opportunity for more nuanced feedback on something this important! Thatvsaid, I'm glad there are some spots for more feedback - here's mine on if I think Canada can keep a secure CBDC
Also, lol,
