Plausible scenario:
1. Fed buys Bitcoin. They use this to attack Bitcoin by spamming the mempool or whatever. Use ordinals as a scapegoat. The fed's goal is to instigate a "problem".
2. Blackrock Bitcoin ETF gets accepted
3. Fednow is implemented. Banks are now connected via CBDC-I (interbank fork, technically not a "CBDC").
4. Fed quietly forks Bitcoin. This fork is modified to be CBDC and uses the interbank (lightning) network as nodes (CBDC-I rebrands to CBDC-LN to hide their tracks). Welcome to the world, Bitcoin-CB.
5. Blackrock, the "sponsor"... (see nostr:npub10jnx6stxk9h4fgtgdqv3hgwx8p4fwe3y73357wykmxm8gz3c3j3sjlvcrd l note below) quietly declares Bitcoin-CB the real Bitcoin
6. CBDC conversion & infinate trace begins.

Sounds highly unlikely to me - there are better & easier ways to achieve the same outcome.
Anyone could fork bitcoin right now & proclaim it as the real bitcoin. I don't understand why you'd go to the trouble of creating an ETF & then defrauding holders of their actual bitcoin.
It sounds too me like the lawyers who drafted the T&Cs don't understand Bitcoin. I generally presume incompetence rather than malevolence.
I hope you're right.
I don't claim it to be the most likely scenario, simply a plausible one.
