Yeah... But maybe they don't. A 15 person task force sounds small but perhaps making suggestions that get them in the media might make people know they exist.

I think a CBDC that comes out of CAR would be very corrupt and highly centrally controlled and manipulated for what they want. El Salvador and CAR should probably both have made their own tokens to attract investors as well as recognising bitcoin as legal tender (they can easily do both of those and actually look like they're getting somewhere).

I think we should know if Central African Republic is one of the poorest country in the world, since the minimum salary in this country is just $60/month [1], not to mention there are a lot people are get paid smaller than that. So my assumptions not a lot people have access to electricity and afford to buy cellphone with the internet connection. That's might the problem why we're not hearing any usage Bitcoin from Central African Republic.

From the quoted below, it seems the government doesn't force every business to accept Bitcoin payment. Also they're trying to create their own token named Sango coin. It's ridiculous the government don't want to buy Bitcoin using their fiat money, but they're trying to buy Bitcoin using their own centralized token which the funds will come from foreigner's funds. More or less, Central African Republic's president didn't really trust and willing to take risk to buy Bitcoin.

Hmm, this line is a bit contradictory
Not a single business accepts Bitcoin but he did pay in Bitcoin, so they can still deal unless that host thing was also just extra, and the main fee was paid in cash.


I don't think it's ridiculous, it's the only way to fund that!
CAR doesn't have money to buy Bitcoin, funny thing, is they can't print money thanks to the CAF so their only way is to print virtual money and get real hard cash or coins in exchange for it. Either way, Sango is a failure.


This is what I'm asking, what was working alright since we had no news after the law made it legal tender but we had those two articles which I quoted above where it seems they've backtracked on that issue. Well, I do understand the lack of information, with the current situation as they are more interested in war and disputes than building something is no surprise the number of tourists is probably abysmal.
