The central bank (allegedly) works for the people. The central bank using public resources to tamper with the desires of the people is a loss of purpose. The ultimate goal of the central bank is not to have the power to control currency, but provide value for the citizens.
It is absolutely grotesque that public institutions engage in any kind of propaganda. It is also , might I add, incompetent, as a central bank revealed to do this shows that the radical crypto libertarians hating on central banks were right.

- conanbatt 9y agoBy far, the most damaging malicious media influence has been done by the state. People over-investing on crypto is a petty squabble to the misdemeanors of the institution that controls the entire money supply of the country
- brann0 9y agoYou educate people. Using shady propaganda is not the way to fight "scams".
- devwinportable 9y agothere's always a limit to "morally right" "education". the other side is using their own 'shady' media channels ('youtube influencers') to advertise their shady product. how would you counter that?
- makomk 9y agoSo your logic is that because scammers use dishonest tactics to market their scams, it should be OK for the Polish central bank to use the same shady, dishonest tactics? The whole reason scammers are willing to use those tactics is because they're swindling people. It's one of the signs they're up to no good. If they're going to act like scammers, maybe we should treat them like scammers.
