RE: Cryptocurrency Discussion: Can bitcoin still thrive if governments introduce their own digital coins?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

A government backed crypto is what world governments have wanted for years. A cashless society where every single transction is logged. No cash in hand jobs so the tax man won't ever miss a single penny. It's a sad reality but it's happening and most of the population will use it because they will simply have to.

Unfortunately those are my thoughts as well. Where does that leave bitcoin?

Governments will no doubt prevent you buying other cryptos with their government backed one. Just like a lot of banks are threatening to close peoples accounts for using Coinbase.
