So USA FedCoin is now a reality and will be implemented in the not too distant future and it will be set up across the board in banks/financial institutions etc .Bit of a worry if you live in USA ?  It is gold backed. Do not know the origin of the blockchain.

So will this be the beginning of the death of money/ fiat currency ? Time will tell.

"They’re easy to make. JPMorgan, Bank Of America, etc. run a modified version of Super Mario Brothers in which Mario’s character is computer controlled. [...] Every time a Mario gets a coin, $100 million dollars in Treasury bills are created and $100 million goes into the account of Mario1, Mario2, or whatever bank’s Mario got a coin."

But what if Mario isn't good enough and can't get enough coins for what gov wants to spend?  Huh

I went to the Federal Reserve Bank in my City and they gave me a free bag of Shredded Federal Reserve Notes.  I asked the woman what she thought the future of cash might be, and she asked me if I heard of Bitcoin.  I then showed her my Blockchain and she was turned on.  

True story.

Fedcoin is backed by the credit and good faith of the Federal Reserve and the government of the United States of America…

That tipped me off to the satire.

A member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors left his notebook at a local gentlemen’s club. We present this incomplete memo, found in said notebook, without comment as it speaks for itself.
