The third link you linked is also literally a policy brief. Perhaps I shouldn't have said you should 'look stuff up,' but rather 'you should read the stuff you look up too.'
Yeah, the "conspiracy theorists", before this was officially announced, people had the same reaction as yours
Always people with high karma who think they know better than everyone else, it really is hurting this website, prevents any form of critical and interesting discussions, everything gets muted
Please bookmark this thread and check back next year when it'll enter test phase

" UNCERTAIN FUTURE OF MONEY
The financial sector is not immune from the technological
changes that are transforming other industries. Digital
currencies are likely to gain wider acceptance during the
next two decades as the number of central bank digital
currencies increase. China’s central bank launched its
digital currency in 2020, and a consortium of central banks,
working in conjunction with the Bank of International Settlements, is exploring foundational principles for sovereign
digital currencies."
> You should actually look stuff up first before an immediate reaction.

You perhaps are the one who should "look up things"
