Several countries are already in the process of launching their own sovereign cryptocurrency, which will have profound implications for the world and will change it forever.Geopolitics of Cryptocurrencies analyzes the various strategies in progress and reveals the stakes. One of them is to decide whether commercial banks are still necessary.
