I don't like it too, the possible consequences are way worst than the current situation. Digital government issued currencies are the foundation of mass surveillance, control of the people and dictatorship. It gives way too much power to governments: dynamic global tax rates, individual behavior related tax/interest rates, allowed/disallowed spending (smoke too much, dink too much, eat too much, play too much video games, spend too much on imported products...).
