The government of the countries that are creating CBD should look for other things that they want to use money for than looking for ways to deceive people that CBDCs are cryptocurrencies, they are not.
CBDCs are cryptocurrencies, and despite some trying to add continuously the decentralized stuff in the de facto definition it's simply not the case!
Is Tether a cryptocurrency? It's as centralized as a CDBC. Is BNB one? What's different in its design?
Is Bitcoin SV a cdbc or a cryptocurrency?
Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency the rest are not so much, they still rely on cryptographic security, and they still work as a currency only the level of control is different.
The main feature of a cryptocurrency is its anonymity and decentralization.
As above, since Bitcoin is pseudonymous then we have a problem with the definition.
I don't get why people attach so much emotion to a definition, it is what it is and that's it.
It's not like the definition will change people's minds, it will be usage that decides that!
