No, dictators fucking love central banks and fiat currency.
They like it even better than anything, because a dictator almost always controls the central bank. Plus, the dictator and his buddies almost always own everything, and when you own property you need fiat currency to stay in power. Fiat currency inevitably leads to hyperinflation. With hyperinflation, you get way wealthier owning property than having cash. At that point they don’t need the central bank that they control.
I got the impression that they like crypto as an industry, not as a tool. I doubt they would guarantee safety for, as an example, KYC-less Monero exchangers.
Oh no, they absolutely won’t do that because Monero actually works as digital money that they can’t control. So there will be no protections for it. In fact, I read a paper essay thing from somebody in the European Commission that was actually talking about attacking it by the government in order to purposely suppress it.
People like this have even less sway in a currency like Monero than they do over the Federal Reserve, primarily because a community like Monero doesn’t trust people like that. It’s a complete direct democracy, where you can make your voice heard on absolutely any issue under discussion, bring up a new issue to discuss, etc. Change does not occur unless there is an extreme majority consensus. And if a change is not liked, it either will not happen or a fork will be created.
Wait what?
