Vem vet. Själv skulle jag tro att löneutbetalningarna är hotade för det här rysstrollet och att man nu kan beskåda dissonansen mellan verklighet och vad han skriver här på forumet.

Citat:
Russia is accelerating the implementation of the digital ruble.
The Central Bank of Russia will start its first real operations on 15 August in 11 cities. Now Russians are being told that it will be "the onset of a new beautiful and transparent world".
After the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, Russians rushed to withdraw money from their bank accounts. Last year alone, the volume of cash grew by 2 trillion rubles (about $22 billion). And it is more difficult for authorities to control cash.
Russian blogs contain active discussions about the digital ruble.The main viewpoint is that businesses and citizens will be under an even tighter control of the state with such digital currencies.
The digital ruble will probably have a heavy impact on those who fled Russia - they already call it a digital "serfdom" for Russians.
What is planned:
Since the new digital currency will be issued by the Central Bank of Russia, it means that:
▪️ accounts of all individuals and companies will be on the Central Bank's server;
▪️ Federal Security Service (FSB), financial monitoring, and tax authorities will have access to this data;
▪️ authorities will be able to monitor any transaction;
▪️ authorities will be able to see where and on what money is spent;
▪️ a digital ruble can be programmed so that it can be used only in a certain location.
Who will have to make the transition to the digital ruble:
▪️ state employees;
▪️ social payments (which means millions of people).
Shelf life of the digital ruble:
There is a possibility that the new currency will have a shelf life. After its expiry, the money will vanish. That is, Russians will not be able to save and withdraw money. And it will also have to be spent before the expiry date.
The digital ruble is a new and convenient way of control by the Russian authorities. It will make them able to restrict financial transactions, encourage the purchase of certain goods and forbid others with a single button.
Such a rapid introduction of the digital ruble might suggest that the Central Bank is preparing for a shortage of cash.
