the article is saying governments can outcompete Bitcoin by creating their own cryptocurrencies. ...
That's what I got from it also. But why would I want controlled money that works in one place when I could have math based money that works everywhere? This is the same as businesses thinking they could create a digital money. Actually, what they are creating is just a frequent flier mile. A store of value for one purpose that someone else controls. Do I want that?
Please, lol.
