What sort of thing would a real user be doing with it?
I just assumed that virtually everyone who owns BTC was in it to get rich quick. And to be fair, it's worked a treat since its inception. If you hodled it for a few years or so, you would have made 1000% gains or more.
US CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currencies) is just an electronic form of the USD but instead of having an account with say Wells Fargo, you will have an account with the US Central Bank
You get your stimmies faster, but perhaps it is not possible to transfer it to your Robinhood account or if work around it through intermeidiaries, i.e. sending to your cousin, you may not get future stimmy checks
You may be able to use your CBDC with your landlord as it's most likely he/she also has a CBDC wallet
You may not be able to use it at Whole Foods but Walmart probably will have a CBDC wallet. Idk, just making shit up, since CBDC has not been released yet
Certain people will get negative APY on their CBDC wallet to encourage spending or slowly lose balance, while others get a positive APY to encourage savings
Incumbent banks will not like CBDC wallets where they are not part of the game so they'll insert themselves in the process to get their cuts, one way or another, but then we're back to our current banking system/debit/ACH
Idk, I'm just trying to repeat what I read here and there
But what would you do with it? same as your USD. It's not a digital investment asset like bitcoin
