The funny thing though, is that "government" and "transparent" mostly doesn't go well together. If anything, transparency is probably the last thing they had in mind if they were to create their own digital money. Instead, it's most probably for surveillance purposes. You'd be dreaming if you think the government wanted decentralization.

That's right, I laughed a little about this. if the government really wants to be transparent, isn't it certain that they are adopting crypto and decentralization and maybe even they are developing it themselves for the benefit of the country's finances. but in reality they are even afraid, afraid of the country's finances will be shaken by the influence of bittcoin

There is a difference between decentralization and transparency. Decentralization means giving the absolute authority and power regarding something to citizens whereas transparency means allowing citizens to view government's work however power to take decisions still lies with government.

Governments adopting blockchain could be seen as positive step towards increasing transparency between government working and citizens but it by no means meant that government is decentralizing any system.
