Bitcoin is something so extraordinary and beautiful that it managed to break the entire traditional system without turning back, it managed to remodel and change the whole human perception about capital.

We can debate whether Bitcoin has succeeded or not, but we cannot talk about Bitcoin succeeding in any way as you say "break the entire traditional system" because the percentage of people involved in Bitcoin in any way is less than 5% of the total world population. Realistically, maybe 1-2% even understand or use Bitcoin the way it should be, while for the majority it is just an investment like any other. Human perception of capital and value has unfortunately not changed much since the existence of Bitcoin and the vast majority of people still keep their value in the bank, stocks, bonds or gold.

CRBCs are hot garbage. Nobody will use them. Not even fiat-oriented people will use them, for the same reason they don't use Bitcoin - because they don't understand it.

It is not so important what people think of CBDC, it is more important how governments will gradually introduce it into the system. When (and if) classic FIAT is replaced by CBDC, people will have no other options (except BTC), and most of them do what the government suggests anyway. In countries like China, it is already a done deal, and I doubt that it would be difficult to implement the same thing in countries like India or Russia.

I am of the opinion that CBDC is still simpler than BTC, there is not much to understand except that you need an official government app and it all boils down to the send/receive button.
