IMO the worst thing that can happen to you is the government locking you out, or worse doing something that authoritarian countries are known for, which is blocked Internet, cash limits, limited transfers of money abroad... If that's happening to you, leave while you can. There are still places you can be free and life is too short to live it in shitholes where the government thinks of you like you're expendable work force.


No, because you still have choices. Many countries don't develop CBDC and even some of those that are will not force people to use it, just present it as an alternative. Most likely some of these projects will not be used until they decide to go with the next step, which is cash ban. At that point people will have to decide if they still want to live in these countries.
