You can't ban someone from owning or using cash. But you can do so with a CBDC.

You can also dictate how the funds in a CBDC wallet are spent. There was a proposal that CBDC wallets could be issued stimulus funds that expire unless they are spent within a certain time frame. This is to prevent people from just putting the check into a savings account.

CBDC are just a huge/national bank. It's a dream come true for the Marxists.

As far as I'm aware CBDCs are a largely theoretical concept right now, do you have any links to an implementation such as you're describing?
