    “CBDCs aren’t cryptocurrencies”

    Love to hear how you think cryptographic digital currencies aren’t cryptographic digital currencies.

    “As for the rest, “It’s good because it’s making lots of money””

    cryptocurrencies are exceptionally popular tech with very active communities developing new technology that is constantly gaining popularity and value.

    by your flawed metrics, solar power is “hype”.

      Not all digital currencies are cryptocurrencies. CBDCs are digital implementations of government-backed fiat currencies. If you don’t understand the difference I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.

      Solar power produces energy. Cryptocurrency produces nothing and wastes energy doing it.
