I think about this a lot and I guess we have maybe a ~24-month head start from now. They will push this through with single-minded dedication as from their perspective CBDC is the only thing that will save their currencies. They will push just as they did with the vaccine and the lockdowns, even if it destroys them in the process.

I think there is very high probability that they will use a kind of lockdown again to push down money velocity again to inflate even more. But really I have a hard times to imagine how they could implement a cbdc technologically. Look at their track record....

I don't think they can do it either. I have written about this in other posts about what is happening with the CBDC trial in Australia, but the whole premise of closed-source CBDC is going to fail vs open-source Bitcoin long term. This won't stop them from trying though and destroying the world along the way. This comes back to Cory Klippsten's "The Race to Avoid the War".
