Implementation strategy now complete?

For now, officials are studying the popularity of cryptocurrencies and estimating what gains and losses are associated with digital assets. They are being studied for their specificity and impact on financial entities and economic instruments, as evident by the regulation to the Treasury Department mandating the determination of the impact of cryptocurrencies on public finances and national security.

Are we going to live in Orwell’s world? There are many indications that we are already living in it anyway. Will the U.S. digital currency be different from China’s?? Will the clash of digital money determine the final defeat or victory of any of the powers? One thing is certain. Everything will become clear one day.
