Wall Street’s Secret Meeting to Test Digital Cash

One way to control people is to control their money. By controlling which currency can be used in a country you limit how people negotiate and trade. Of course in every age that system can break down, and often when a country such as Brazil or Argentina suffer hyper-inflation, a black-market exchange appears and an alternate, illegal, underground currency replaces the national currency.

Often the alternate currency ends up being U.S. dollars, and though governments punish the practice, it helps keep the economy working. So there is a beneficial and a detrimental side to local currency which can both help or hinder individuals.

Internationally the issue is more complicated. International trade means that there must be an efficient way to complete payments for transactions using two or more national currencies for exchange.
