CBDCs will either stagnate and die a fast disused death or accellerate bitcoin adoption because of this fact.

If you dont run your email service on SMTP and the internet, and instead try to build it on your own closed private intranet no one is ever going to use it.

Similarly, if you dont run your national central bank digital currency on lightning using RGB and taro protocol, and instead try to build it on your own closed private database no one is ever going to use it.

If central banks dont build their digital currencies on the worlds best open permissionless payments network then it will fail, and the worlds best open permissionless payments network is the lightning network. Any CBDC that is not built on lightning will not be considered globally legitimate because it will not be native to the worlds most legitimate open and inclusive payments network.

This is hilarious because its true. Any CBDC built on a private closed database will just stagnate and end up disused, and if central banks build their CBDCs on lightning using RGB and taro protocol then that just accelerates lightning adoption and allows sats to be accepted anywhere a CBDC is accepted which allows for even more adoption of bitcoin as money.

This is amazing. CBDCs cant win and even if they work because they are built on lightning that just allows bitcoin adoption to explode even more.

Gotta love game theory and the inevitable domination and success of open permissionless networks.
