A european/uk CBDC increases European sovereignty.
Visa , tether, apple pay, google pay are worse than a European CBDC because they are USA CBDCs

Noticed Europe has an office alternative to windows office 365.
Another sign of decoupling
The only sovereignty that matters is the peoples sovereignty - Power of the people BY the people. The EU is a really bad example of that due to the unelected nature of the European commission and the lack of any genuine democratic power by its parliament. (a body that can only accept or reject proposals made by the commission) - Rubber stamping at best. CBDC's take away ALL of the peoples sovereignty by putting the money supply completely in the hands of the authorities. At least with Visa etc. the "money" is spread out amongst competing systems but once they bring in CBDC's there will be no need for competition. Add that to the Digital Identity System that they are bringing in which will have a Social Credit Score and Carbon Allowance/ration attached and you have all the makings of "The Mark of the Beast" which we have been warned about for thousands of years.
