- The ECB and UK are planning CBDCs with strict holding limits, e.g., €300–€500 or £10k–£20k per person.
- That framing as 'good news' obscures control mechanisms that limit personal savings and autonomy.
CBDCs As A Reaction To Stablecoins
- The hosts link CBDC pushes to a reaction against stablecoins and private digital dollars like Tether.
- They argue CBDCs are a state response to prevent wealth escaping via private digital money.
Disintermediation Triggers Coercive State Response
