Dear Cryptors, CRYPTO IS NOT CBDC — Stop Mixing Them Up
“Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are decentralised by design. They operate on open, permissionless networks, free from direct government control. CBDCS, by contrast, are digital versions of a nation's fiat currency, issued and fully controlled by its central bank. One offers financial independence; the other extends state oversight.
Conflating the two only plays into regulatory narratives that seek to lump all digital assets under the same restrictive rules.”

The hacking of Kenya’s State House, Interior, and other government websites shows exactly why the digital ID system is risky.
If people can break into top gov't sites and post extremist messages, what happens when these systems hold our personal details?
This is why, before governments push for digital IDs, they must first make sure their systems are strong and secure and think carefully before creating one central pool of personal data as this is the dream of every hacker. #DigitalID #Kenya
