I guess that's why they want us to use CBDCs, so that they can pretend to be real money. LOL

the problem with their logic is their system is proprietary and centralised so it's not resilient like physical cash or lightning or bitcoin
the only thing that makes bitcoin and lightning less than perfect is the event of a massive internet failure, or at least where you want to use it... i am pretty sure that a LOT of money is going to already be going into R&D to EMP proof the internet...and i'm quite sure that wireless networks are gonna get the chop, they are completely worthless once there is a big enough geomagnetic storm, radios are the first thing to fail when the air is filled with electrons... shielded, grounded stuff and optic fibre can survive this, and that's basically what i expect in the next 5 years or so, such a massive event that literally everyone stops using wifi and mobile phones, because everything, i mean everything, even the ones in the warehouse, are toast
and yeah, a replacement for NFC that uses optics is also something i expect, because it can be fully faraday caged
failure of radio networks puts a big ding in bitcoin as a payment method in bricks and mortar retail, if the radios are out, but it doesn't affect online ordering if it's all shielded and optical
