Sounds brilliant, but how "hack-proof" is the tech? Till we can vouch
for its being solid - you are replacing NATIONAL CURRENCY with it, I
don't support. ATMs get spammed, there are vulnerabilities exposed in
online bank transfers. There exist criminals who make careers hacking
things like this (and most of the best ones are outside the country,
including hotspot China - with whom we have differences of opinion and
they have state sponsored hacking). This may mean to people's life's
earnings being vulnerable to vanishing.
Additionally, security measures may result in horrendous losses of privacy.
The idea itself has merit, without doubt, but the application will be
fraught with challenge, and till we can say with reasonable certainty
that such a system can be secured and can be free from corruption
(Ambani can afford to pay hackers if need be, for example), we will
not be doing a responsible thing.
My view.
