Yes, but only monitored in the same way as bank accounts, i.e. on requests when there is suspicion of fraud.

Yes, but only monitor digital wallets that are suspected to be linked to criminal organizations and terrorist/extremist groups.

Why should the government be allowed to monitor such activity but by the same token those who keep secrets have something to hide.

Yes, but is their any way that the government could access records to check for financial crimes like fraud?

Digital wallets should be allowed and only monitored by police if they suspect a crime has occurred.

I don’t think the government should have the right to monitor anyone’s finances unless the person is deemed as dangerous

The government should not be aloud to access your money since it is yours and u earned it. They shouldn’t even monitor ur money since it’s an inaction of privacy and they shouldn’t act like there above the law themselves it’ll make citizens feel controlled and isolated

The government should not be able to see how people spend their money - it is theirs to spend how they like, the government should only be concerned when it is being spent on illegal items

No, the government should provide a very basic and <0% interest bank account for every citizen. Like cash, but digital.

no, taxes are probably going to go up if they see how much money people have, why does the government need to see my money

Government should not be able to monitor unless for certain circumstances like tax evasion or drug dealers

monitoring should only be allowed when the person in question has a warrant. A average citizen should not be monitored.

If its monitored then made transactions public knowledge so we can see how our elected officials spend their salary

Think of the money being sent to 🇺🇦… understandably a west vs east proxy war like syria 🇸🇾. Just a suggestion to use fair portion towards looking out for your own people as well , we get taxed enough, people would appreciate more investment into the communities to keep morale steady and content to some extent. 50 % off student loans would be a good incentive for the new wave to have a bright & positive approach to starting there journeys in life with out the added pressure of having to pay the full amount of student loans back. 50% off would be a absolute Blessing 💯

Accounts should be monitored in the same manner than any other form of transactional currency can be.

Individuals money should be wholly private and the government should have absolutely no say in what they can spend their money on. Nor should the government have any form of access to an individual’s money.

I don’t think the government should be able to monitor or access our money. Especially I don’t think they should have the ability to control our money.

Should citizens be allowed to secure their money in self-hosted digital wallets that the government can neither monitor or control.

No there should be no need for digital wallets, especially where taxes are paid. Privacy should be upheld

Yes, and governments should only be able to monitor any persons wallet when they have obtained a warrant from a reputable judge because of clear proof of criminal intent by the person.

Yes to citizens being allowed to secure their money in self-hosted digital wallets, but government should't be able to see or control

If not already done so, the government power to monitor aspects of your privacy online should be authorised very stringently by courts. Abuse of which should be met with imprisonment. Law enforcement or other security services should have specific concerns and legitimate investigative protocols to spy on an individuals privacy. It should not be a carte blanche right for them to invade your online privacy. They should have a warrant to authorise access to my home why should it be any different when I am online?

citizens be allowed to secure their money in send controlled digital wallets unmonitored by government

I believe that those that aren't very wealthy should be able to use financial measures that will help them, But that those with significant wealth such as maybe millionaires upwards, it should need to pay tax on their wealth

That would be cool but I don’t like the idea that the government knows what I’m doing with my money.

People should have privacy and the government should not have the right to force anything onto people’s private and personal accounts , unless absolutely necessary

i hate the idea of digital wallet. i like a nice mock leather wallet perhaps in powder blue with forest green piping.

Citizens should be able to secure their money in however way they want without it being monitored or controlled by the government

Yes providing the owner of the account is known to the government/relevant authority, with minimum government scrutiny, the inland revenue service can already determine taxable income through payslips and other means for most people, though court can request accounts as evidence/seized if it is found to have been used criminally.

The government should not have the ability to monitor OR control any citizens money, transactions or digital funds. It is nobody's business how people spend their money.

If they have past issues with money like theft or scam, or not paying taxes , then the government should be able to control it

Citizens should be able to do whatever they choose with their money with no government input whatsoever

yes but the government should not be able to access or see it but should be able to see a general range of what is inside

I think digital wallets are an interesting idea but the amount of cybercrimes being committed for them is certainly worrying, so i feel sorta in the middle with this one.

The rich do not need all the money they have. This is a way to keep the rich sage and to protect. The government will still find ways to steal from the working class.

No, the Government should not be able to see what is in your bank account at all as it is none of their business.

Yes, but the government should not be able to monitor it. They cannot view my regular wallet so why can they view my electronic one

Yes as long as the government can see it and take the person to court if they suspect something etc.

Yes as long as the government can monitor it and if they see something strange they can take the person to court etc.

Yes as long as the government can see it and if they suspect something they can take the person to court etc.

Difficult due to the challenges in securing these wallets and offering the same protections as available to consumers in the event of a bank collapse

I don't trust the current government to do this. They will probably misuse the data to exclude people from social welfare or for immigration purposes

Yes, but enforce security requirements on digital wallets and accountability for the wallet hosting party.

Citizens should be allowed their own money and use how they want. Crypto is irrelevant. We don’t live in the future. Crypto should be banned/not even considered

Governments should be able to deposit into private self-hosted digital wallets. I'm against centrally controlled digital wallets.

They should be allowed to access it, but the goverment shouldn't be allowed to have any access to it

No, citizens should be allowed to securely hold their money without government monitoring or control

People should, be able to have there money where they want, not everything is the governments concern

Governments monitoring means that they can decide taxation. Yes we should be allowed digital wallets.

Yes, but the government shouldn't be able to monitor anyone's money, if they're not willing to disclose their own earnings to the British public.

Everyone should have the right to hold financials on digital wallets without the government being able to monitor

Government should have no access or visibility of any money at all, ever and cash should be preserved

Difficult, we need to be able to control criminal gangs who defraud the country and it's citizens but individuals need the right to some privacy.

Governments should not be able to monitor citizens bank accounts without a legitimate warrant for arrest or investigation.

No. I believe we should have ‘non taxable’ autonomy over our money. However, IF the government has a reason to believe that someone is doing something illegal then they should be able to get a court order to look into these digital funds

we should be allowed to do so, but also not be monitored, as its our money why should it be monitored by others yaknow?

Yes but the government should have no part in anything remotely resembling monitoring or transparency.

I worry about the government's ability to monitor individual's finances, but believe that digital currency (specifically with bitcoin, etc) is a slippery slope

The government shouldn’t have access to it whatsoever. It’s our money we’re trying to get controlled

The Government should have no need or right to monitor my digital wallet or have access to how much money I have/earn as it

Good for convenience but the government would get to see all your transactions and you would have less privacy

Why on earth should the government be able to monitor personal wealth hosted digitally? Do they not understand the concept of cryptocurrency? It is supposed to be untraceable and not to be tracked or taken away from someone who possesses it.

Citizens should be allowed to keep their funds in whatever legitimate guise the deem. The government should have ZERO access to this data.

the government should not be the people monitoring these wallets, the hosts should be responsible for monitoring for illegal activity

Don’t know. (I know it’s complicated, and without knowing more of the facts I don’t have an informed opinion.)

Yes, allow private citizens to use a privacy layer that prevents monitoring of funds and transactions but allow monitoring of business accounts.

These should be allowed but there should be limits on amounts to reduce hoarding and tax avoidance for the super wealthy.

Why would the government want to monitor so closely what others are doing. Seems like it’s going for control

Citizens should be allowed to do this, but government should not have access unless required as part of a police investigation

Yes but only for companies and businesses, personal money should not have to be monitored by governments

How much a citizen holds should be their business and access should only be requested if any criminal activity is going on. people should be able to save their own money without fear of being taxed

They should be able to secure their money without anyone else seeing it unless under suspicion of illegal activities

The whole point of the digital wallets is decentralisation. If you allow governments visibility, it becomes part of monetary policy. Yes, they should be allowed to secure their money, and no, the government should not have visibility/

Citizens should be allowed to secure their money in said wallets, but without any government monitoring or control

Digital wallets should be allowed but governments should not have control. It should be managed like normal bank accounts

I don’t think the government should have access to funds unless they are known to committing fraud but aren’t struggling financially. Government should go for people who comment fraud with a lot of money and not small amounts.

Personal bank accounts should not be visible to anyone unless a warrant is issued or suspicion of fraud

If not monitored and/or access be allowed to outside agencies, such as law enforcement, this could lead to a rise of OCGs, Terrorism etc

No I don’t think the government should have anything to do with your money once you have paid your taxes and been paid your money that’s it. It’s yours to spend on what you need and what you like

Government should not be able to monitor these accounts as this defeats the purpose of cryptocurrency

They should be allowed to store money in self hosted wallet that the government can not monitor or control
