No, it could be used to debank citizens for their political views

Agree

No, the government has no right to monitor private transactions

Privacy and limiting government surveillance are recurring Conservative themes, especially in opposition to expanded state powers; however, they also support law-and-order measures, so the absolutist framing is slightly stronger than typical party positioning.

Slightly agree

No, decentralized stablecoins already provide low-fee secure transactions without state control

Disagree

Yes, it would make payments instant and low-cost
