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.
