Digital, state-issued currency is the “inevitable” next step of our economic evolution, says Cameron Chell, executive chairman of CurrencyWorks, who concedes it can be a “scary proposition.”
Speaking to Michelle Makori, editor-in-chief of Kitco News, Chell said that digital dollars, which fundamentally function differently a dollar that is digital, will eventually be adopted by governments.
“Ultimately, it is much more convenient for people to use it as well, so I think adoption is going to become inevitable as well, but if we are not careful with our policies and our laws, we are in for a controlled society,” he said.

Programmable Currencies, not digital.
The greatest way to remove inefficiencies in the economic system is to remove the biggest inefficiency itself, the parasitic extortionist state. It’s hard to imagine how obtuse this guest is as he cheers on the march to slavery. Amazing, and not in a good way.
