    One bank issues unbacked tokens

    1. The Taler protocol has bank auditors built-in.
    2. Your hypothetical would just as much apply to existing debit cards.
    3. Unbacked tokens. You mean like Tether? (Let alone Terra.)

    Also, it promotes taxation which automatically makes it a cult & scam?

    The fuck? How does Taler “promote taxation?”

    Fuckin’ Libertarians.

      Exactly like Tether. USDT was never backed 1:1 by USD. They don’t even try to deny it anymore. They admit it’s backed by “various assets, including BTC”, which smells like a market manipulation.

      How does Taler promote taxation?

      “Customers can stay anonymous, but merchants can not hide their income through payments with GNU Taler. This helps to avoid tax evasion and money laundering.”
