It’s to pander go conspiracy theorist. Not that a digital currency isn’t a privacy nightmare and a potential powerful tool for control, but I think the reality is that every country in the world will eventually shift over to a digital first based currency/finance system rather than the current Frankenstein of old paper banking with digital services stapled on top. It would be more forward thinking to legislate requirements for privacy and limits on government actions towards account freezes and seizures for digital currency accounts
