The #UAE make their first #CBDC payment using their new Digital Dirham to China of all countries, with a settlement of Dh50 million (313.4 BTC) , crazy to see the effort central banks are putting in as a refusal to use Bitcoin, but I sure do enjoy the cope

I think, in a hyperbitcoinized world, if your are against very powerful adversaries, such as China, Russia, USA, and other nation states, the only safely private way of transacting will be exchanging gold physically. In a regular business that is very inconvenient. So you might also need proprietary layers of value exchange, that your adversaries have no access to. Then if your friends are not friends enough to settle the balaces on paper during meetings, a proprietary blockchain is not a bad solution.
