Central African Republic | Launches Meme Coin Experiment
The Central African Republic (CAR) debuted a government-backed meme coin, $CAR, which President Faustin-Archange Touadéra claims will “unite people” and “support national development.” In reality, meme coins are speculative assets that often serve as vehicles for insider profit. This scheme follows CAR’s failed Sango Coin project, which promised citizenship and land in exchange for locked investments but sold only 7.5% of its supply. Those who did “buy in” did not receive what was promised. In 2022, CAR briefly made Bitcoin legal tender, calling it a path to sovereignty — only to abandon it shortly after. Instead of supporting open and neutral money like Bitcoin, the government has turned to dubious crypto schemes. The real beneficiaries of $CAR appear to be regime insiders who reportedly cashed out $40 million while the public holds worthless tokens. FinancialFreedomReport.org
