Half-baked thought of the day:

Could small & marginal banks become "early" Bitcoin adopters? If CBDCs come to pass, and smaller banks get disintermediated by the central bank (i.e. the major banks) in the process, some might join the monetary rebellion

Think about a run-of-the-mill bank, that sees its ability to create debt-based money dwindle, because customer deposits shrink as people use CBDCs instead. What services will they offer, to continue appealing to customers? It seems like, since the central bank cuts them out as middlemen, they could turn around and offer customers an alternative to central bank money, i.e. #Bitcoin services.
