 Looks like we gonna skip point 4 and 5:
2025: USA starts to print to buy BTC
2026: Hyperinflation destroys the USD
2026: All debt gets worthless
2026: We get a «fresh start» with a CBDC
2026: People lose trust in the CBDC
2027: #bitcoin  becomes global money

 It might probably happen, but not with this timeline. And yes if we could skip CBDC it would be better.

 Looks good to me. 

#Bitcoin destroys all fiat, basically.

 If there's enough distaste for it such that it would be political suicide to attempt a CBDC, then we might skip it.
But I'm not convinced we are there yet. There's still an abundace of deep-seated fuckery going on in the USG.
Sometimes adoption of totalitarian policies are not skipped but rather delayed until there's a better climate for it.
If a CBDC gets skipped this time around, and Bitcoin becomes well entrenched, then there's a much better chance that a CBDC won't happen at all.
But it really depends on how much of this totalitarian bullshit US citizens are able to squash out of existence.
