Digital currency is evil and we should all avoid the "cashless society" that all governments are trying to build.
This is just going to be for more control.
I to one extent agree. It gives governments too much power and in practice rewards already established banks. On the other side it isn't exactly practical for say an airline to buy a new airplane with a truckload of cash.
