Now that we’re talking about digital currency, the question immediately arises: When do you think it will start to be introduced in the post-Soviet space, and how much of a negative impact will it have on citizens?

Well, I'm not sure. I'm just watching how things play out for now. It's an interesting topic, of course. It's incredibly hard to predict how things will turn out...

I'm sure this doesn't bode well for us.

That's what I think, too 

Oh, I have a feeling they'll be rolling out a CBDC for us soon. The only question is how bad it will be for us. Opinions differ on this, as usual.

I don't know. For now, I'm just observing, reading, and keeping an eye on things. It's really hard to predict what will happen.

There’s talk of a social rating system and that spending will be subject to limits and restricted to a certain radius. I don’t know how true that is 🤷

In Ukraine, I think there’s a high probability this will happen within the next 5 years, since the country seems to be making strides in the digital realm.
