RE: Could Estonia Be The First Country To Offer Their Own CryptoCurrency
Unless they allow individuals to hold their own private keys and ensure the issuance of the currency is kept within promised norms, this will be a non-starter. Plenty of countries already have digitized their currency - Finland and Japan are good examples. But the attraction of public blockchains with currency tokens is that they afford a degree of privacy, ensure the tokens are in the control of those who possess them, and no one entity can issue tokens as they see fit.
Bitcoin and Ethereum still hold much more promise than this kind of scheme. IMHO.
That is a big part of this why I don't like it myself. It centralizes and regulates and token instead of it being decentralized which is why crypto came into existence. It seems like countries are slowly creeping in and taking over and people are not realizing it yet.
