This online discussion explores the implications of government-issued digital currencies on individual financial freedom. Participants debate whether these currencies represent a tool for financial empowerment or a means of control and surveillance.

Arguments For Control:

S.AlGriasi argues that governments may not always act in accordance with rules and accountability, highlighting historical examples where they disregarded them to achieve their own ends. He also emphasizes that the existence of such rules might only be a facade to manipulate public perception, while digital power ultimately grants more control to those in authority.

Arguments For Freedom:

W.Ben.Zrouq suggests that the solution isn't about avoiding government-issued currencies but rather establishing clear guidelines for their use and accountability mechanisms. He believes in finding a balance between leveraging the power of digital currencies and preventing misuse by authorities.

The Debate on Transparency:

The discussion highlights contrasting views regarding transparency. S. AlGriasi argues that government transparency through digital means is merely an illusion, ultimately failing to prevent abuses of power. S.AlGriasi asserts that while governments may strive for transparency, it doesn't necessarily guarantee responsible use and may even be used as a tool to manipulate public opinion.

On the other hand, M. Al-Rais argues that transparency in digital transactions can actually be beneficial if implemented responsibly. They suggest that clear and well-defined rules are essential for ensuring responsible use and preventing abuse.
