Nancy Pelosi tried to sneak digital currency into one of the "stimulus bills".

How long before our currency goes digital?

They have to maintain power at all costs. Something they learned from the 2008 meltdown.

Credit Cards are privately held loans. Digital currency refers to "sovereign money" backed by the central bank and in turn backed by the government. A central bank cannot go bankrupt.

At least the $ is regulated.. it’s not perfect and out leadership behaves like toddlers.

The cryptos being unregulated is the Wild West and just wait until real money goes into them and people start using them for consumption rather than just a speculative trading tool.

Nope the central bank will survive a govt toppling, and usher in the next one it chooses and continue on as usual.
