People really need to start thinking about how they’ll navigate governments having CBDCs.
If you think you’ll be able to simply unplug from the system by using bitcoin or gold/silver, and maintain your current standard of living, you haven’t thought this through completely.

Yes, that is a very interesting comment. With a lot of services you can only pay in fiat or later on CBDC for e.g. energy, taxes, insurances, at least in the EU. But for other stuff like food, electronics, clothing, you could pay with Bitcoin. The merchant could accept Bitcoin in store or online. Bitrefill.com is also a great alternative.
