Do we really need cbdc now?
NO!
The idea behind the CBDC across various countries is, amongst others, to digitally represent themselves in the new technology and also have swift tranfers but neglect the very blockchain onus, which is by far the most proritised reason for the blockchain tehcnology.
Whether they introduce the CBDC or not, the blockchain technology has come to stay and they can only try but becoming a worthy competition isn't possible as their motive and that of blockchain isn't the same.
