I don’t trust bitcoin either. The power goes out and what do you have? Nothing! I’ve never understood the lure of it. Having said that, it’s done great and many people have become rich off of it. Probably because the riggers haven’t found a good way to short it.
I take you’re point about the CBDCs as well. Adoption of this system would really crush our freedoms … and there’s a lot of young techno savvy people who would embrace it. “It’s so easy to use” They’d put their head in a noose without a clue.
Cheers
