Reserva FAQ

Is Reserva a cryptocurrency?

No. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized. Reserva has a central authority, the Reserva Central Bank.

Cryptocurrencies, while having some value as a speculative asset, aren't very good for day to day purchases. The best known cryptocurrency network, Bitcoin, can only process around 5 transactions per second in the present day. Obviously, that isn't fast enough.

There are lots of really smart people trying to solve this problem. However, until someone solves it, a centralized transaction processing system is the only way to keep up with the amount of transactions created by the modern economy.

When will Reserva be available?

Late 2022 / 2023.

Are virtual currencies legal?

Virtual currencies are legal in the United States.

The European Union is currently writing virtual currency legislation. It seems clear that they don't plan on banning crypto / virtual currencies, but will probably add many requirements for consumer protections.
