New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 09/23/2021 --Bitcoin has made huge strides in 2020-21 - it's now accepted legal tender in companies like Starbucks and was adopted as legal currency by El Salvador earlier this year. The growing mainstream acceptance of bitcoin has forced central banks to accelerate their own digital currency initiatives - CBDCs. These are basically digital versions of existing national currencies and are designed to compete with bitcoin etc. China has been spearheading this initiative - the digital Yuan has now been used in more than $5 billion in transactions. 80+ countries have said that they are looking into launching their own digital currencies and there are many advantages to this, including facilitating direct government payments and a range of new financial instruments. There are plenty of challenges too, including the need for infrastructure that is both secure and well designed and the necessity of ensuring optimum privacy and safeguarding user data while also allowing some data mining.
