    if the government was to do their own crypto it could do a lot to disrupt the current unregulated “stablecoins” that currently exist, i could see it happing if for no other reason than to fight money laundering. If the fed is doing it, it becomes “real” money and most people would probably prefer a fed coin to something like usdt.

      Money is made from belief. Why would the public at large believe it to be a real currency?

        if the banks and federal government say it is and accept it as such then it is by definition “real” currency.
