I'd imagine the digital currency would be run by the government. So they'd be 'minting' these new cards, and as such there'd be no fees to talk about.

- swaits 16y agoBecause the government does everything else so well and it's all totally free!
- vaksel 16y agothat's what we have now... are you seriously suggesting that we should outsource the "minting" of our money? are you insane?
- whatusername 16y agothat's what we have now... (where do you think those credit cards come from) // Sorry - couldn't help myself.
- sethg 16y agoFrom the government’s point of view, there is no reason to make it easier for citizens to anonymously and untraceably send money to one another. It’s politically impossible for them to eliminate paper/metal cash, but they’re not going to make cash transactions any easier. (And any country whose central bank supports completely digital anonymous cash will suffer the fate of Nauru: first it will attract money launderers from all over the world, and then the world financial system will shut off all contact with it until it reforms.)
