CBDCs will not fail short term. They are coming. Here’s why.

The 70% will opt in and give up privacy and control because of “perceived safety/efficiency” … also if the “Ledger gets hacked” than they just change the ledger and obsolete the “hacked coins”. Short term is almost all upside incentives

However, the downfall of the CBDC will be arrogance and control

Eg. Guarded personal information attached to the ledger/central banks will be hacked/stolen and the “customers/politicians“ will be outraged/embarrassed and that will get the elitists second guessing their mistakes.

Finally it’s Fiat on a digital ledger. It’s failure will move 10X faster than the current system which moves much slower. It can’t succeed. It will still be printed and manipulated but even faster… It is doomed before it’s started. Personally I give CBDCs 10-20 years before a complete failure.

Do Bitcoin right!

Just thinking out loud. What am I missing?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I agree that CBDCs are seeing increased attention and adoption across the globe, spurred on by government initiatives aimed at improving financial transparency, reducing costs, and enhancing oversight capabilities.

However, I am personally skeptical of their long-term viability as solutions for providing lasting economic stability and preserving individual privacy freedoms.

CBDCs have been accused of exposing citizens to invasive state tracking by replacing cash ATMs thus notifying each instantaneous transaction which undermines a major anonymous element in true privacy; something crypto is valiantly protecting against.

They also increase reliance on potentially-manipulable central powers that can inflate or control the economy towards certain objectives rather than serving as impartial overseers.

Bitcoin's merit lies in its resistance to price manipulation due to significant market-speculated value versus intrinsic governance structure which has precluded it from similar decentralized regulation found in typical monarchial fiat overlord example -- known as quantitative easing more commonly These considerations all put alongside other predictions indicate - according growth trends in Bitcoin possibly CBAs don't stand a chance -- Main factors forcing failure being Government's intrusive principles & weak security mechanisms at large scale level .
