I think they just want us on a digital system, it doesn't matter which "coins" since they're all connected through exchanges (which you need to provide your government ID to buy from).
And if you're fully on a digital system, your wealth is tied to the price they say the price of your assets are. You work for the smart machine and it allows you to buy dinner from the smart shops with your smart phone and smart ID.
In reality it seems to be but one step closer to the chip. The pro-crypto propaganda is real, and so I discuss it in depth over at my blog.
Maybe you didn't see the video I linked to in my post? The entire point is peer to peer interactions and disintermediation. why buy from "the smart shops" when you guy buy from your peers directly with no corporations involved at all?
You can call it "pro-crypto propaganda" if you want, but the current central banking system is a complete disaster. Controlling your own store of value is a much, much better approach.
