Fidelity Followers Favor a Crypto-denominated Currency Bill

Recent interactions on Fidelity’s social media channel have highlighted a significant shift in financial perception. With cryptocurrency continuing its march into mainstream consciousness, is traditional finance feeling the pressure?

Fidelity Followers Speak Out

In a recent endeavor to gauge its vast user base’s sentiments, Fidelity questioned potential new bill denominations. The overwhelming response? Cryptocurrencies.

Surprisingly, more than 50% of the reactions favored digital currencies. Bitcoin (BTC) and Satoshi (SATS) emerged as top contenders in the thread. But not all the engagement was smooth. Many mentions containing excessive Dogecoin responses got labeled as “offensive content.”

One notable reply came from a user named Lee, who audaciously remarked, “If you’re referencing dollars, its value is zero.” The statement hashtagged #Bitcoin, was a direct nod to the growing trust in cryptocurrency over conventional currencies.

While Fidelity might have anticipated traditional finance suggestions such as a $200 or $1,000 bill, the discourse soon shifted. Many participants critiqued the Federal Reserve, associating traditional bill suggestions with inflationary concerns.

Evolving Financial Perceptions

Interestingly, some users nostalgically remarked about 1990s prices, suggesting denominations like “$25” for its ease of multiplicity. However, a tongue-in-cheek comment from an individual with a ‘Guy Fawkes’ display image proposed the need for a trillion-dollar bill. Such a bill exists in Zimbabwe, due to hyperinflation. 

While it might sound satirical, the idea isn’t unfounded. There’s been severe consideration about minting a trillion-dollar U.S. coin. However, only with the potential to further dilute the dollar’s value, especially when addressing the national debt.

Among the many replies, one particularly quirky suggestion was a $69-dollar-bill. Proposed by a user named “Crypto Patriot,” this might seem out of place in standard financial discussions. However, this number is a recurring motif for those immersed in the blockchain sphere. It stems from their extensive dealings with algorithms and computations.

Yet, another intriguing suggestion touched upon the limitless possibilities of blockchain. The idea of a denomination with a “$12 tip included” showcases the innovative solutions possible with smart contracts.

Fidelity’s Forward-Looking Stance

Currently, Fidelity stands on the precipice of obtaining regulatory clearance for its BTC spot ETF. It’s worth noting that the firm began its foray into BTC and ETH services – including brokerage, custody, and trading – as early as 2018.

Fidelity’s social media experiment highlighted the changing dynamics of the global financial landscape and underscored the burgeoning significance of cryptocurrencies. As we stride forward, it’s evident that the lines between traditional and digital finance are becoming increasingly blurred.
