According to Tom Emmer (@GOPMajorityWhip), a government-issued Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) that is not designed to be open, permissionless, and private, resembling cash, is considered an Orwellian surveillance tool. Emmer warns that such a CBDC could erode the American way of life and asserts a commitment to prevent this outcome.

According to Dan Romero, cryptocurrency wallet providers can integrate a specific feature entirely permissionless, allowing for independent implementation without needing direct communication with him. This approach encourages innovation and reduces barriers for wallet developers, potentially impacting wallet adoption positively. Romero remains open to discussion for those seeking collaboration, indicating a supportive environment for developers. Source: Dan Romero via Twitter.
