CBDCs are exactly why crypto will always be around. Spying on other people’s money is not a basic human right.

Eh? Every single bitcoin transaction is publicly visible to anyone that looks for it in a way that bank account transactions are not. Correlating transactions with an individual is not exactly difficult if you're determined. It's downright easy if you get the other party to accept a payment from you.

CBDCs aren't on the table in America anymore. They were a stupid workaround to our political opposition to postal banking.

CBDC won't have to do anything with "blockchain" and will be a regular relational database.
