    No one is going to implement Project 2025.

    Irrespective of whether you vote Republican or Democrat or anyone else, some of the Heritage Foundation's social rather than political or financial ideas are quite spine-chilling in their implicit bigotry and harshness. It's also clear, again by its own web-site, that it would rather like to be the shadow power behind the USA's elected government.

    However, that's for you Americans to sort out. The OP was about "Digital Currency"; not self-interested talking-shops of single-issue campaigners and big-business interests.

    If that means the murky, fraud-ridden, unregulated gambling world of so-called "cryptocurrency" I am only surprised any government of any nation or any political persuasion has not banned it completely at least from their own bits of Internet.

    If it means a so-called "cashless society" a lot of people already behave that way, paying for the slightest things in ordinary shops by bank-card or "smart"-'phone.

    Those who advocate that, don't really think it through; though having written that view as a Briton resident in Britain, I realise the implications here might be very different in other countries.
