According to his vision, we are more likely to see a wide range of currencies coexist, with each representing the interests and values of a specific community:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSuppose there was an Islamic digital currency which had certain characteristics, not interest bearing or this kind of thing. There might be a billion people that want to use that currency.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In such a future, the government&#8217;s control over money could be greatly diminished. Still, governments will need to play a regulatory function over this multitude of currencies which, otherwise, would risk plunging society into chaos:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThere is a reason why we are not in the wild west anymore (&#8230;) A better solution to society as a whole might not be unaccountable money.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Check out the full interview on our <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=cointelegraph\">Youtube channel<\/a> and don\u2019t forget to subscribe!\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/private-vs-state-run-digital-currencies-which-could-replace-the-dollar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;# Private Vs.
