Against this backdrop, Srettha Thavisin, the head of Thailand's opposition party, promises to airdrop 10,000 Thai Baht (~$300) in digital currency to every citizen if his party, Pheu Thai, wins the general election in May.
On one hand, critics argue that the proposed airdrop is nothing more than a marketing gimmick aimed at winning votes. They question the practicality of such a large-scale distribution of digital currency and point out the challenges associated with implementing such a scheme.
On the other hand, supporters of the proposal believe that it could be an efficient way to distribute economic stimulus to the masses. Digital currency is a rapidly emerging technology that is gaining popularity among businesses and consumers alike. By providing every citizen with a certain amount of digital currency, the government could stimulate spending and boost economic activity in a short period of time. Moreover, the use of digital currency would enable the government to track the flow of money and ensure that it is used for its intended purpose.
As the election draws closer, Thai voters will be closely watching the developments and weighing the pros and cons of the proposal before casting their votes.
