(((bitcoin))) faggots are why this is happening so quickly.
You have major Dunning-Kruger when it comes to Bitcoin. Yes, it is captured, is too expensive to use, is easily tracked, and is not suitable as a currency today. That wasn't always the plan. The people working on it early were in it for the right reasons. I'm editing the rest of this out because they target people who go into much depth on Bitcoin's history.
Bitcoin blockchain is decentralized, ethereum blockchain and copycat blockchains are not. CBDC blockchains are centralized like Ethereum. It is the centralization aspect that gives (((banks/gov't))) the tyrannical control, and the shear number of bitcoin miners has now grown too big to be controlled by single entity by conventional means.
There are two ways they can try to take it down, but both are high risk: (1) criminalize the use of bitcoin, (2) develop quantum computing far enough to beat 51% of the world's miners at mining with a fraction of the cost.
Yeah and when SHTF you're toally going to have access to the public ledger, the internet, or electricity for it to be relevant. And who started (((bitcoin)))? Oh right, we don't know. Hint: we do and it was the CIA.
Gold and bitcoin each have their flaws.
Bitcoin exchange requires everyone has an internet connection and electrical power, as well as the ability to remember a 12 word password (or safeguard a tool to do that for you).
Gold requires everyone to have purity testers (or at least faith in the mint imprinted on each coin/bar), a trustworthy means to pay in tiny quantities of it for small purchases, and a way to safeguard the amount used for saving large amounts of it.
Either way, best not to put all your eggs in one basket.
