Yes. That's normal money laundering, but, that's less available when everything is digital and controlled to the point that all your digital assets are quite literally being held hostage. With cash you can't have it remotely burned. If you wanted to take back "money" you have to do it physically. Not so with CBDCs.
One must ask what is the cbdc?
Could we already be using it?
And is there already an untraceable drug money already available?
The first question is very well answered by all the central banks.
No. We are not. Not yet, at least not in the US.
Yeah, $100 bills. Plus BTC and monero to some extent.
Bitcoin is to trackable to be trusted in my opinion for privacy unless you really know wtf your doing at this time.
Cash, monero, some shiny metal rock & gemstones.
Yup. But it's still a good store of value.
I'm not and have never been a BTC maxi. It's just another tool.
Agreed
I’m a tool maxi
You gotta pick the right tool for the job.
Very curious question about whether one exists now. This is now, to me, obviously yes.
IIRC, a very few countries have implemented a CBDC already.
Not even talking about a CBDC. Just a backend washing currency between large banks as a service. I’m sure that different countries have used crypto or bitcoin for this. But I’d guess they have something available to them now only they can use. Like @kidwarp said, just untraceable. No need for the pleb money mixers… although it’s probably still cheaper.
