China Coin not Nov, but is the (crypto) Space race on?

in #brainfeed5 years ago

Many details re what China is working on are covered in this article, and while China is in no rush, the bigger picture might tell a different story.

Of note is that it will be distributed via banks and will have a 1:1 with the national currency.

In a country where very few people use cash or plastic, preferring smartphones for payments, when it does finally launch it could launch the cryto express past the 10% tipping point globally.

How far along are the USA in developing a national crypto coin?
Who will replace the USA as a global currency if China wins the the 'crypto space race'?

It's a very big prize to hold the global currency & one that China would want to hold and control.

Round #2 looks like it could end up being China VS BTC ie controlled vs distributed.

Time will tell
