If this bill is passed its worse than CBDC itself. They will be poking in people everyday life and will apply control on all aspects of financial activity. Its an ultimate totalitarian financial dictatorship! EU is no different than China now! RIP freedom and democracy!

Both of your comparisons here are very weird and more like comparing apples and oranges.

CBDC is and will always be 100% centralized and you can't and will never be able to have any kind of privacy using it. In a sense it is no different than using banks as you already do.
Bitcoin on the other hand will always be decentralized and nobody can control it or your transactions. All they can do is to control big centralized places like a payment processor that shouldn't even exist in bitcoin ecosystem, or exchanges and such. But for example they can never force a supermarket that accepts bitcoin to ask for KYC when someone pays for a bag of chips.

And don't get me started on the fake democracy that never existed to begin with. Let me just say that those that claim they have democracy the most, don't have it at all Cheesy
