They're so damn close.
They think that CBDCs are the govt's version of Bitcoin. That they're basically the same thing.

Even worse.
It will be marketed to progressives as helicopter money for the marginalized(tm)
It will be marketed to the “Bitcoin is volatile” crowd as “Bitcoin but stable”
To bureaucrats as “China but with apple pie”
These folks know that CBDCs will further enslave them (or sat least think they're bad).
The problem is that they think bitcoin is cut from the same cloth.
The horrible irony is that some will ignore Bitcoin & then take the CBDC handouts when they're hungry & backed into a corner.
The desperate will, but that’s going to line up exactly with this loud minority of woke cultists who want daddy government to do everything for them any way. That’s roughly 10-20% of the population who due to their cultish fervour and focus from the Cathedral appear larger in number than they actually are.
Your average normie who doesn’t live online will be sceptical. They’ve seen too many falsehoods in too short a time and they don’t know who to trust any more so whilst that doesn’t mean they’re going to trust Bitcoiners, they no longer default to trusting the State - that’s the opening we need, the rest is on us.
