CBDCs will come dressed up as tax credits. Everyone loves tax credits and discounts.
In the meantime, the prices of not encouraged things will be getting unaffordable.
They will weaponize the Cantillon effect by steepening it and giving giving these ESG chances to partially participate on it.
They can't afford to use violence against the principled peaceful voluntary protest (opt out). If they do, they instantly lose all remaining credibility and support.
On the other hand, it would be easy for them to squash violent actions with even more violence.
Prime movers going on strike is the opt out. Bitcoin is the natural Galt's Gulch.
The more monetary energy you port there, the less power the CBDC has.
Practically: - Start selling your work for BTC only; demand inconvenience surcharge for fiat payments.
Nostr product design problems; or more specifically - specific client UIs / new feature mockups.
