CBDC undermines freedom of speech. This should be the main anti-cbdc selling point.
objectively worse money. i have a hard time seeing them be adopted… the incentives and malincentives will have to be huge
or maybe not people did line up for worldcoin ig
I have a very bad feeling that cbdc will be eaten up by the masses. There are so many ways to position it as a good thing and if people don’t pause to think (they won’t) they won’t understand why it’s a terrible idea.

This is why I said all effort should probably focus on one anti-cbdc point: potential silencing of speech.
Tie it into the dictatorship talking point and US may just reject it.
Also just general freedom...I've had success pointing out to an obese friend that a CBDC could theoretically be used to prevent him from going to his favourite restaurant every night.
I'm a shitlord. I wish he'd stop eating junk. But the idea (actually voiced by a politician in my country) that he could be banned from spending his own money on junk does not sit well with me at all.
The power of the powerless is to live in truth.
