Summary

The programming communities are going to be asked to get involved with nationalizing cryptocurrencies. Should we push back on programmable money at the national level as a community?
Topic points:

• What happens when a central authority has this type of power with programmable money? (incentive programs, deterrent programs)
• Differences between decentralized cryptocurrencies (bitcoin, etherium) and CBDC's
