The boy has been crying wolf on CBDC for an entire 4-year cycle and they still don't exist.
I can not acquire these phantom tokens nor are they connected to anything in crypto.
It does not take this long to spin up open source code and be in full control of the asset.
Random devs all across the world do it every single day.
A team of 100 programmers could crank it out in a couple weeks.
The politics of the legacy system do not allow for CBDC to exist.

In fact we are seeing actual Ripple XRP adoption instead which is insane to me.
The XRP community isn't going to allow more coins to be printed.
"There will only ever be 100B XRP."
That's not a CBDC even though this is how many are framing it.

The money being printed out of thin air in this case is corporations expanding their balance sheet and taking on more debt to buy an asset that goes up much faster than the debt costs to service. This conversation is about dozens of corporations copying the MSTR strategy because it's working better than anyone's wildest hopes, just like the Blackrock ETF worked better than anyone's wildest hopes.

To say that "well this has always been happening because all USD is printed out of thin air" is not accurate. Or rather is 100% accurate but completely missing the point of the original message. Corporations are printing the money by leveraging their stock, not banks.
