 Agreed, StackSats.

Spreading awareness of the dangers of CBDC's is important.

The negativity is not a result from informing others of the harmful implications of CBDC's, but rather when the critics don't offer a viable technical solution, such as Bitcoin. Without a solution the criticism quickly becomes defeatism.

Governments need full control over CBDC's, which is why they are hell-bent to stay in charge over the protocol design, even if they outsource the actual work.

I have no doubt that liberty and Bitcoin will triumph, yet it is vital that people reject CBDC's en masse.
