I think most people who know anything about cryptocurrencies would agree that any cryptocoin made by a government would be pretty much like your average pre-mined coin except worse because they'd obviously take measures that would allow them to freeze peoples' clients and dictate where they can spend their money etc.

It is old news.
As a Canadian Citizen I am here to state that I reject this idea a feel that it is a horrible one, it appears to be nothing more than a centralised bitcoin rip-off

It will only work if you have a smartphone, article says. Why might this be? Because what they are making is a payment app. They are not even making a public api. (my speculation)

Cryptocurrency centralized is still centralized.
