Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
personally directed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to update its website
to contradict its longtime guidance that vaccines don’t cause autism,
he told The New York Times in an interview published Friday.

A panel of people from a few different countries.
The UK, where the event is, and the US currently have money which perhaps is good enough that the people there don't see much need to replace the money. Running global reserve currency helps exploit other poorer countries. The problems are fairly invisible.
But in other countries, poorer countries with even worse money, countries more exploited by debasement of the global reserve currencies, the problems with government money are more evident. They see the need for an alternative more strongly.
Adoption is important though. Money is only money if it's widely accepted. So given the choice of more users or higher price, the panel would all pick more users.
