I don't have a theory (other that both CBDCs and cryptocurrencies are dumb). I'm merely pointing out that the idea that CBDCs are absolute evil while bitcoin is absolutely against evil is rather inconsistent in light of the fact that some of the people behind CBDCs are also involved with bitcoin.

It's not inconsistent when the designs are the opposite.

Bitcoin is permissionless and payments are uncensorable. A tool against govt power and individually empowering.

CBDC have central control and govt control in the name. The Chinese govt will be jumping at the chance to implement CBDC. Bitcoin is only a threat to their control

But I get the impression that most people's minds are already make up about bitcoin and it's be a while until people are open to new ideas

I'll leave you alone with your mental gymnastics.

I'll leave you alone with your smug ignorance. Highly doubt you know the technical details of these systems.

[lottin]

Classic crypto bro retort. The "technical details" of these systems were neither the topic nor had any relevance to these conversation, and at any rate you haven't got any clue whether I'm ignorant about them.

[influxmoment]

If you had technical knowledge you would given any reply with some substance but you just derived my response as "mental gymnastics" after baiting me into a discussion

And now name calling

You just wanted to get out your superficial preconceptions on the topic after wasting my time

[lottin]

I simply pointed out a fact that is never addressed by bitcoin propagandists, which is the fact that bitcoin core developers are also working on implementations of CBDCs.

What sort of "technical knowledge" is required to make such an observation? None. Therefore trying to discredit what I said on the grounds that I lack technical knowledge is ridiculous. Calling the statement of a fact a "superficial preconception" is equally ridiculous.
