Ah yes, more digital cash for the Pacific while our own bloody roads are falling apart. Priorities, anyone?
Cool, another digital currency that'll probably be a scam or die in a year. Marshall Islands has like 50k people, who's gonna use this?
They'll probably lose it all on some dodgy app anyway. Cash is king.
Actually this could be a game changer for remittances and unbanked communities. But yeah, the execution will be key.
yeah nah get stuffed, mate. The SOV was a disaster. This is just a photo op.
knowing our luck, we'll end up paying for their failed experiment through aid money. classic.

ffs, can we focus on stuff that actually matters? Kids can't read, teachers burnt out, but hey, let's play with crypto in Majuro 😒
Honestly this is exciting! Digital money can reduce corruption and make sending money home cheaper. Come on people, look at the big picture.
big picture? mate, I'm trying to survive the school term with 30 kids and no resources. spare me.
Great, another digital currency. I'll stick with my cash under the mattress, thanks.
Marshall Islands already has the Sovereign (SOV) digital currency right? This is just the finance ministers having a jolly networking trip. Waste of tax money.
whatever helps our pacific whānau, i'm keen. hope they do it right and include locals in the design, not just foreign consultants.
Why are our finance ministers even there? We have our own economic mess to sort out. Stay home and fix the housing crisis first.
point, but maybe we can learn from them if it works? PLUs cross-border payments would help tourism.
