I wonder, in a time of crisis, given 5 digital currency options, which one will people choose to hold and why?
China digital currency
US digital dollar
EU digital currency
Kenya& #39;s shilling digital currency
Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies

China digital currency
US digital dollar
EU digital currency
Kenya& #39;s shilling digital currency
Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
?
