POLL: Realistically, how many people that you personally know will ADOPT CBDCs? \ stacker news ~bitcoin

I don't see "adoption" as a binary variable. I expect that basically everyone who currently uses fiat will use the CBDC version of that fiat. Some will try to do more transactions with Bitcoin or gold or whatever, but most of our salaries will be in CBDC under this scenario.

Am I missing what you meant by "ADOPT"?

Indeed, is kinda weird to say "adopt" CBDC when they will be forced anyways. And those trapped into the scam, without being prepared with a good amount of BTC, will have to live a nightmare.

Many people still do not realize what really are CBDC, how dangerous and tyrannical could be. Those thinking that will escape from CBDC and dump them for BTC, are fooling themselves: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY BTC WITH CBDC. Are tied to your identity, that means EVERYTHING you buy, will be verified, approved, vouched by a central entity. You cannot move CBDC between individuals just like that. CBDC are literally social credits!

Even in the most totalitarian regimes there are black markets, so it's not totally hopeless, but they won't make it easy to dump digital dollars.

Of course. Bitcoin will be the currency for underground markets. I already started something like that around me. Is not perfect, but in case of "disaster" people are prepared and they know what should do. Now we are just playing around and testing. But I am not sure if many are prepared like that, with a minimum local community trading in BTC.

A good 99% of people will accept it, for the same reason they keep using fiat today. Worst, most people will not even see any difference between old fiat and digital fiat.

CBDCs will become common (and enforced by law) in most developed countries circa 2025. That's why the window for Bitcoin to succeed as a real alternative is shrinking. We need to onboard at least 500M people before CBDCs become mainstream. Not a done deal.

If a CBDC has all the scams of crypto like airdrops & staking most people will sign up.

Unless normie perception on privacy & self responsibility changes (ie they wake up!), CBDC's will be popular.

The good news IMO is that they are still many years away.

Which was a lot of money for most of those people.

But yes, it was a bad deal

Unless you live in a state/country that specifically bans the activity, most people are going to be forced into it. Sure, the hardcore bitcoiners will pull out of the system and pay a premium to manage paying for everything in bitcoin without ever touching fiat infrastructure, but most people, even if they are convinced of bitcoin as the future, are not going to stop using bank accounts and credit cards.

I can imagine 5% of the people I know going full bitcoin standard under a CBDC regime. Currently 0.66% (1 person) of the people I know, in a Dunbar's number sense, operate on a full bitcoin standard.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @birdeye21 OP 11 Nov 2023

5% is still great assuming it's the right people

What'll probably happen is the other 95% gets forced into CBDCs, only to later be forced out by bitcoin lol

How well have you done at orange pilling?

it is curious you ask this because yesterday, I tried to orange pill a person I care, and I failed miserably. I think I was very good at it but failed anyway. I think some people are not ready yet and may never be ready. They will be very happy owning nothing and with their CBDCs. I fear it is not some people like this, but the majority of people.

Never think that is your fault for the failure. Is their fault not being able to see the real shit.

Never heard anyone WANTING to adopt it, as few people understand what it is .... but I guess the majority will (driven by incentives - govt airdrop or something like that)
