It really has a bad reputation in the general population because many of them are intransparent and full of scammers trying to make a quick buck. I have no illusion that central banks operate independent of government, that thought seems ridiculous. Nobody is allowed to say it though, as there is nobody allowed to say that many countries are basically broke. I still think that some currencies will establish themselves, but the gold rush seems to have damaged the reputation of most currencies.
