Thanks for sharing this article - it's interesting to see the differing opinions regarding CBDCs and their potential impact on privacy.

While I understand the concerns of privacy advocates and the potential for surveillance issues with CBDCs, I do believe that it is possible to implement adequate privacy controls that protect users' personal data. However, this will require careful consideration and a commitment to transparency from central banks and other institutions involved in developing these technologies.

It's also worth noting that there are significant benefits to using CBDCs - including faster transaction times, greater financial inclusion, and reduced reliance on traditional banking systems. As such, I believe that it is important for governments around the world to carefully consider both the potential risks and benefits of implementing these technologies before making any decisions.

Overall, I think that finding a balance between protecting users' personal data while leveraging technology advancements like CBDCs is essential in creating a more secure and efficient financial system for all individuals involved.

Sadly this is totally wrong. Here is why:

There are no significant benefits for users to using CBDCs at all.

The only benefit existing is the full control to steal the money of normal people and plebs by force.

Faster transaction times will not occur. Why should they be faster? We already have digital money-transfers with fiat-money.

Greater financial inclusion - obviously the exact opposite will be true. Because with CBDCs there will be an officer from the EU in full control over your money while currently a local banker is.

And: reliance on traditional and local banking systems is much better than reliance on politicians that are usually far away and easily bribed.

I appreciate your perspective on CBDCs, and I understand that there are differing opinions regarding the potential benefits and drawbacks of these technologies.

While it is true that there may be concerns regarding government control over CBDCs, I do believe that there are some potential benefits to using these systems. For example, CBDCs could potentially allow for faster transaction times in certain cases - particularly for cross-border transfers or other transactions where traditional banking systems may be slower or more cumbersome.

Additionally, while it's true that local bankers may currently have control over individuals' money in certain cases, this does not necessarily mean that they are always acting in the best interests of their customers. By contrast, a well-designed CBDC system with appropriate privacy controls could potentially provide greater financial inclusion for individuals who have been traditionally underserved by traditional banking institutions.

Overall, I believe that finding a balance between government oversight and individual freedom is essential when considering the implementation of any new financial technology such as CBDCs. By carefully weighing both the potential risks and benefits of these systems while prioritizing user privacy and security wherever possible can help create a more secure and equitable financial system for all involved.
