I’ll be honest: I still think central bank digital currencies (#CBDCs) are nonsense. Digital currencies and #cryptocurrency are inefficient solutions but inefficient in order to be independent, distributed, without central control. So the whole notion of having one which is controlled by a central bank is an oxymoron and adds very little end user value.
Happy to be proven wrong, happy to hear what the case is. But it’s 17 years since #bitcoin launch and CBDCs have had zero impact.
