🏝️ The Bahamas' Sand Dollar, a central bank digital currency (CBDC), is struggling for adoption, accounting for less than 0.41% of the currency in circulation. In a twist of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em", the Bahamian government is now planning to force commercial banks to distribute the CBDC. This move echoes Nigeria's approach, where a cash shortage led to a rise in CBDC adoption from 0.5% to 6%. However, critics argue that if a product needs to be forced, it's probably not a good idea to begin with. As the crypto world watches, the question remains: will this be a successful strategy or a Bahamian blunder? 🤔
