I think if Trump will stop the CBDC project which he promised then that can be counted as they won't be attacking Bitcoin.
I forgot about his promise to block US central bank to launch a CBDC. I dare say that is an empty promise as well.
Lets see.
- China already has its own CBDC up and running (Digital Yuan or e-CNY) that has been growing well in the past couple of years (going up from $14 billion transactions processed in its early phase to $250 billion in first half of 2023).
- The way people are describing BRICS new currency it looks like a digital/crypto-currency using the blockchain.
- Other countries around the world specially some members of BRICS are working on their own CBDCs, some have already released a beta version for testing.
So are we to believe that United States is not going to feel the need to "compete" with this trend and create its own CBDC? I believe they will.
I wouldn't be surprised to see in a couple of years the same Trump talk about this good thing he has found that will save the dollar and call it e-USD (a copy of e-CNY).
