CoinVoice has learned that, according to News.bitcoin, Brazilian Congressman Julia Zanatta expressed concerns about the impact of implementing digital currency (drex) on citizens' lives. Julia Zanatta emphasized that as the government advances the implementation of drex (the Central Bank's digital currency), physical currency may come to an end. In a recent interview, Julia Zanatta explained that the use of drex should be voluntary rather than mandatory, as it could become a tool for exerting control over Brazilians. She has already planned to establish multiple backup measures to prevent this from happening and to help Brazilians maintain their current economic freedom.
Julia Zanatta recently proposed a bill to combat the already introduced legislation banning the use of cash in Brazil, suggesting reliance solely on electronic transactions and drex. The bill was introduced in 2020 and will gradually stop printing money starting in 2025. [Original link]
