"...for an entire 4-year cycle..."

The entire extent of history.

"...I can not acquire these phantom tokens..."

The OP is about them. Define a duck by it's attributes, walking, talking, and looking like a duck, etc. If a currency is embraced by the entities advocating - dependent on - imposing CBDCs on the population, they think it's a CBDC. Believe them. What's the alternative? BTC has forced them to capitulate? They have abandoned their centuries long plan to conquer the world, because BTC? Who is Satoshi Nakamoto, anyway?

"The name of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, can be interpreted as a reference to the U.S. spy agency. Nakamoto, loosely translated from Japanese, means “central,” while the name Satoshi means “intelligent.”

"It does not take this long..."

Conquering the world is a generational enterprise. Henry Kissinger infamously pointed out that if you control the food, you control the people. If you control the oil, you control countries, and if you control the money you control the world. How long does it take to conquer the world? If the Fed just created FedCoin and ordered you to buy it, exchanging all your fiat, gold, silver, and crypto for FedCoin, would you? What would convince you to buy FedCoin?

What is.

I saw a brief condensation of this presentation that I can't find atm, however an 'ancient'(from prior to the current 4 year history of the world) document can be found here you can review (or not. You do you) at your leisure). However, I don't think spending 4 hours on education is unreasonable when it involves securing your principal.

'The boy' has also pointed out how I was edumacated by the successful taking of my property by the mechanisms you are trusting before you wore long pants. My purpose has been explained: the first rule of investing is to keep your principal, and my purpose is to enable you to keep your principal. If you spend your principal on CBDCs, you will lose your principal.

We can only become right if we can learn we are wrong, and it is our statements that reveal whether we are right or wrong because they reveal whether our understanding accommodates the factual evidence. I am providing evidence. Attack the evidence. I am irrelevant.
