Hello
My short things aboute Crypto Central Banks
Many bitcoin maximalists live in the fantasies of an idealistic theory of bitcoin as a world currency.
But apparently from the lack of education and less understanding of the general structure of the economy, they do not notice how other crypto-currencies become real world digital currencies, and not just means of accumulation and speculation. And it's not just about the technology of long and expensive BTC transactions, the lack of smart contracts, etc.
Because it’s just in the early process of adoption. Wait for El Salvador. It’s a country plugging in in a free and open system as an alternative to Central Banking.
ETH and BNB are, unlike BTC, realy already used to pay for goods and services, and not only for goods and services in DeFi and NFT, but also in the real world.
And this happens due to the presence in them of the monetary policy inherent in the fiat currencies of the real world, which makes them convenient in terms of the speed of operations, commissions, accrued interest on the deposit ...
Good for them. Bitcoin is still more secure, and more valuable than them.
Establishing a Crypto Central Banks in the person of CZ or Vitalik (sometimes taking from account the DAO vote, but sometimes despite the misconceptions of mass miners), the price of the commission for the operation, the block speed (by updating the code in the ETH or, for example, limiting the 21 nodes in BNB), this is a standard function of managing economic processes.
If you accept that they are centralized and OK with being centralized, then OK. Bitcoin’s main value proposition is censorship-resistance, therefore security/decentralization must be overshot.
The burning or add printing of coins is also a standard function of managing the money supply, and the % rate for staking is practically the same as the refinancing rate of the classical Central Bank, which stimulates the increase in staking deposits during the period of growth of the % staking rate, or vice when % less is stimulates investing coins in the "means of production" of other projects, for example, on the Binance Launchpad.
The presence of such basic mechanisms for managing monetary policy as an increase or decrease in the money supply and the refinancing (staking) rate, in conjunction with other less popular mechanisms, in the real TOP currencies of crypto-economy, once again confirms the fallacy of the idealistic theory about Bitcoin as a single world currency (which is practically does not take part in the mechanisms of mass payment for goods / services), and retains the value of Bitcoin only as crypto-gold.
Good for them if they want a cabal, like the Federal Reserve, to decide the supply increase, or decrease. In Bitcoin, it’s in the protocol.
