Thought this article was going to be about CBDCs before clicking on... would be interested what your take on CBDC is, could be a good article

everyone in my bubble thinks they are evil, an authoritarian's wet dream, which I agree with. That seems like the low hanging fruit to write about. I've considered writing about them but I can't think of any unique spin besides "CBDCs are evil"... there are a million of these articles already, e.g: https://theupheaval.substack.com/p/just-say-no-to-cbdcs

Would be interested to see if you could come up with something novel or interesting. I haven't been able to.

I don’t get the point of CBDCs at all, except for any facilitation of cross-border payments they might help achieve.

I am skeptical about that claim. That may be why China’s Central Bank may want to do it, but it hardly seems to be the motivation for central banks in other countries, such as RBI in India
