No, it is not a question is silly. In my country, the government already rolled out its own digital currency/CBDC called e-naira. I do not own any of it. And it is not mandatory to use it for purchase of items. On the other hand, people still buy Bitcoin via P2P as despite the ban on cryptocurrency transactions last year by the government. I have yet to come across a CBDC owner. So yeah the CBDC and buying bitcoin are two parallels.

Why did you not own a CBDC wallet? I bet they will allow buying BTC but of course not privately. Since users can deposit e-naira to the p2p platform, I guess that's how they also monitor for now the users buying BTC.

It's surprising that Nigeria has CBDC but most countries today have none. The bank bills are still being used but they may gradually illuminate certain bills in circulation.
