instead of being snippy, if you want to discuss it - that would be great.

Otherwise, I let snippy people to themselves. I ain't got the time for that.

Let's try this again in longer form, because you didn't stop to think about it the first time:

If you want to control all sides of a thing, you just imagine the other angles, and create them. So thus, you control them.

I didn't say cbdc's were like bitcoin. I said that it was a pilot study, for aspects of what would later become the CBDC. Consider it a behavioral study, both in micro and macro economics, and therein what people would do in various use cases of the financial instrument, and how they would or wouldn't respond to it, under differing stimuli and conditions, both real and created.

There are so many aspects of the bitcoin thing that cross correlate with an open and centralized banking payment system it's literally unreal, if one was to just stop and think. I don't have the time to write it up, but it's all there.
