Would people put up with CBDC's and massive control? I can foresee them accepting it for a while, just like the Covid lockdowns, but surely eventually people will say: piss off?
I think by that point it will be too late, especially since a CBDC makes funding universal basic income posible with freshly printed reserves, something that can't be done by governments. People will hate the zero hookers and loss of freedom but with out those freshly printed reserves they'll probably starve. Therefore there will be no rocking of the boat by the masses.
