Bitcoin is a PsyOp and the whole idea behind it was to normalise digital-only currency (i.e. a CBDC).
I am 100% certain of this at this stage.
This doesn’t mean that crypto in itself has no merit but we have to be very careful about what we go with and actually understand how it works, is secured and what value it generates.
Ultimately, I think it will have to be a digital representation of Physical assets but that:
Is NOT controlled or controllable by a government or centralised authority; and
Most importantly: runs a very robust “proof of reserves” consensus mechanism that cannot be manipulated or broken, even with a quantum computer.
