None of that matters. They're issuing CBDCs and gaining that control of our economic assets. Cryptocurrencies won't be allowed to enable people to escape CBDCs. @taskmaster4450 points out they have been working to achieve this for decades. They didn't stop working on this when BTC was created, and they're still working on it today. BTC is not a problem for them because they can just turn it off by censoring encrypted communications, or unencrypted BTC transactions. The Restrict Act makes it a crime with a sentence of 20 years to access sites that threaten national security using a VPN. When CBDCs are issued, cryptocurrencies will be threats to national security.
Without it's own network, BTC is just digital data that can be censored. You point out rich people are greedy and BTC is profitable, so they won't ban it. Well, gold was profitable back in the 1930s, and they banned it. CBDCs are more profitable to multi-billionaires, because unlike BTC or dollars, CBDCs can keep people off their beaches, and out of their parks. They can keep people from traveling, from buying good food, or investing. Billionaires don't want to share those things and if they let cash or cryptocurrencies persist, they have to keep sharing with plebs. That makes CBDCs a lot more valuable to them than BTC or dollars, and they're the people that run the world.
That's the bottom line.
