The Bank of Russia indicated that the authors of such posts deliberately intimidate the population by the fact that the transition to digital rubles will be carried out on a compulsory manner, and with their help, total control of citizens’ expenses will be established. Distributors of such myths urge in no case to use the third form of the national currency.
“Recently, we see the next surge of myths about digital ruble. At the same time, the main channel for the distribution of such information is the newsletter of messages in instant messengers and social networks. The authors of these messages, in order to cause readers’ confidence and provoke a panic, try to reinforce their texts supposedly with various excerpts from laws or regulations that have no relation to digital ruble or are torn from context, ”the regulator said.
The department emphasized that the digital ruble is an addition to the cash and non -cash form of the currency, and its use is voluntary for the population.
Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy, Artem Kiryanov, explained what, in his opinion, the digital currency of the Bank of Russia is useful – a digital ruble.
