Short Link to this Quote:
Robert Reich is concerned about “invisible digital dollars” being used to influence foreign policy because cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin allow money to be sent anonymously across borders. This means foreign actors could potentially donate large sums of money to political campaigns or groups in other countries in order to sway their policies without the donations being traced back to the original source.
Reich worries this could undermine countries’ sovereignty if foreign policy is influenced by undisclosed foreign funding rather than the will of its own citizens.
