alt Hacker NewsI'm not gonna use CBDC because they'll get hooked up to digital id, no matter what they're "promising" right now. This is just another shitcoin no one asked for.

You don't have to use it. you can continue to use your bank account (which is linked to your id, obviously)

Aren't your transactions with your bank already hooked up to your identity?

Giving Europe independence from US payments processors is a huge deal and very necessary.

CDBC doesn't necessarily imply blockchain. It can be just another payments system.
That's a clear case of perfect being the enemy of good. Are CBDC privacy friendly? No, but it's better than 100% of the credit cards currently being used in Europe being part of the network of two big US companies.
