A few countries and central banks have been talking about digital currency, and most of them are carefully ignoring the term crypto. Fact is- digital currency is not the same as cryptocurrency. These countries/central banks are recognizing the benefits of the digital currency features of cryptocurrency, but they dont want any of the decentralized uncertainties that come with blockchain-based currencies.
Will countries or central banks create their own cryptocurrency?
Yes, I have also observed this. In fact, I do believe that there really is a big possibility that the governments and the banks in various countries may just go and make their own version of digital currencies that are somewhat same with the current crypto currencies that are present in this industry today. This is to enjoy the innovation that the cryptos bring without the uncertainties and to divert the people's attention from cryptos to digital money by fooling them that the two are the same.
