If a central bank created a cryptocurrency that they themselves couldn't manipulate (no arbitrary inflation or account closure/seizure) then it might be just as good as Bitcoin, and who cares which won? More likely, though, the central banks will create "cryptocurrencies" that are just blockchain based fiat, in which they retain the power to inflate. And in this case, how is that fundamentally better than the digital dollars we already have in our bank account?
