    Hi,

    I was wondering - since there was so much news about state-launched cryptos - is the greater public able to buy? If so, where and how?

    I've read about eNaira from Nigeria, the Sand Dollar from the Bahamas, digital renmindbi from China, Petro from Venezuela - but as far as I know these are not quite available for "everyone".

    Here's an interesting map showing the status of CBDC's of multiple countries:

    Perhaps there's something more, deeper than just CBDC's, aren't there any coins linked petrol or natural gas?

    Just like NFT tokens/coins exist or, the way BitTorrent is linked to a torrent system, or the way XRP and Stellar are connected to a transaction system, isn't here anything somehow connected to commodities, "real assets"?
