Cuba Central Bank will stop issuing print money. Basically every purchase will be automatically informed to the authorities. Still looking for technical details of how it's gonna work.

Sadly, something tell's me, Brazilian Central Bank has been offering some support to this due our experience with PIX.

This seems to be happening everywhere with serious inflation. Regardless of whether it is intentional or not, it's becoming the CBDC playbook.

Governments will electronically print so much money they can't physically print enough to match it which is the excuse they need to force use of CBDCs. Then they can inflate without any physical constraint and start doing all kinds of other wacky stuff.

I guess so... We are pretty advanced here with CBDCs... Basically an Ethereum fork where Retail Banks will work as nodes.

There are a bunch of plans... More than ever Bitcoin comes as an important alternative besides the FIAT...

It is ironic for a state to be use a shitcoin to manage it's fiat currency. It is a combination of two scams in one.
