The average person does not want to research, but is informed in the mainstream media, which is of course owned (or influenced) by the same people who are trying to sell CBDC to people as some kind of cryptocurrency that should be superior to Bitcoin and the so-called stablecoins, which the authorities are actually afraid of the most (at least concerns the ECB).

The fact is that a well-packaged and well-presented story always has a great chance of being well received, and let's just remember how at one time Libra was advertised in the media as a "Bitcoin killer" even though one has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
