Very interesting. If someone refuse to download there app I wonder how things would work. I typically refuse to use anything not open source, and got a phone in the past initially just to try Bitcoin apps. Do you have any example of people who refused to use their app and know how it went?

I'm curious about this myself. None of my friends and family were in this camp, so I don't have any examples. It's something I'd like to try myself, but I'd need to do more research first.

Thank you. By the way, I have heard of the Chinese Yuan expiring at a certain date to force people consume. In practice is it true? Did you have your family running into this kind of problem?

I don't think this is true. Where did you hear of it? I do remember that China experimented with a CBDC that had an expiry date, but I don't think regular yuan expires

Oh I see, thank you. So this was about CBDC only and it was an experiment. I vaguely heard about that but didn't look into the details.
