News are out that IBM is working on adopting Bitcoin technology to create a digital cash for every major national currencies, which will supplement existing paper cash.
“These coins will be part of the money supply. It’s the same money, just not a dollar bill with a serial number on it, but a token that sits on this blockchain.” according to some source.
The first thing that came into my mind is whether the new digital currency will be as “free” as Bitcoin, “free” as in the anonymity of using it.
