The "matter" itself doesn't matter to me but what I care about is that topics like this and those other people who think "govcoins can replace bitcoin" are showing that once again in another bull market the bitcoin community was filled with a lot of newbies who have no understanding of what bitcoin is! They have just bought something abstract that could give them profit (on their fiat). Which is why we keep seeing these kind of absurd thinking.
I was hesitant to report this thread or answer in the hope that at least some would be able to understand what Bitcoin is and what lies behind the acronym CBDC. Something similar happened with FB (Libra) when there was general confusion that this altcoin would mean something, and some even called it a Bitcoin killer. Of course, these are different things, but the point is that a lot of people in the crypto community don't understand what Bitcoin is.
Everything in time. They'll try to sell it at you blatantly at first and it'll gain adoption in no time. But, yeah; it won't happen within the next 24 months.
Given that the main focus is on fighting the pandemic, I believe that many projects will experience delays, including the digital euro project. From the perspective of one who understands the CBDC, it is completely irrelevant when it will happen - some EU member states still do not want to exchange their national currencies for EUR.
