    Except governments around the world have been talking about a digital dollar / digital currencies for years now. I'm not sure exactly what is so outlandish about it. The fiat system is collapsing, and the signs are quite plain to see. Can't print fake money forever...

They are nothing like paper currency outside of being another abstraction of actual value and being issued / controlled by the banking cartel.
