Three things are needed to facilitate the rollout of the CBDC system.
1) Make holding money in banks feel completely unsafe.
2) Destroy competitors or make them unattractive as viable alternatives (bitcoin, etc)
3) Economic collapse then tie welfare to CBDC.
All are in play.

It is a fallacy that CBDCs are a substitute for cash and can improve financial inclusion and help the unbanked.
They will in fact be used to kill off cash. A thread:
#CBDC #CBDCs
....
Of course the Bank of England says it doesn't want CBDCs to substitute for cash, but just to be an alternative.
But what happens when very few people take up CBDCs? The inevitable temptation will be to reduce the attractiveness of cash, as has already happened in Nigeria.
...
Nigerians shunned the CBDCs that were introduced in 2021. Less than 0.5% of Nigerians use them, while by contrast over 50% use cryptocurrency.
So the Central Bank limited cash withdrawals to$225 per week for individuals and $1,123 for businesses.
....
Central bank Governor Godwin Emefiele said, “The destination, as far as I am concerned, is to achieve a 100% cashless economy in Nigeria.”
Next the Central Bank declared that existing banknotes would stop being legal tender by end Jan but did not release enough replacement notes
....
3 days ago, after protests & riots, the Nigerian Supreme Court intervened and declared the note withdrawal an unconstitutional use of executive power which breached the fundamental rights of Nigerian citizens.
But will the Central Bank obey? They are determined to scrap cash
...
Simon Chantry of Bitt—the company that was contracted to develop Nigeria’s CBDC - says he “wouldn’t be surprised if we see central banks try different, creative options to stimulate [CBDC] adoption.”
....
Most people would characterise restricting bank withdrawals and banning the use of most notes as an assault on freedom rather than a creative option.
But Central Banks will indeed try and force CBDC adoption when it is clear that people don't like their CBDC product.
....
We're launching a 'crusade' against the UK Central Bank Digital Currency

Regulation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Our plan
We will work with partners across the globe to reduce regulatory barriers to trade in innovative products and services.
We have established a partnership with the World Economic Forum Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in San Francisco to develop regulatory approaches for new technologies*. The partnership work will focus on areas of innovation which align with the UK’s Industrial Strategy Grand Challenges, such as:
AI and machine learning;
autonomous and urban mobility;
drones and tomorrow’s airspace; and
precision medicine
Our collaboration with the World Economic Forum will showcase the regulatory sandboxes, testbeds and labs we have developed in the UK and promote their adoption across the globe.
IMF publishes multi-year plan to implement CBDCs; it may spell the end of our financial freedom and autonomy
programmability?
Last week, IMF Deputy Director Monetary and Capital Markets Department, Dong He, briefly mentioned at a seminar on CBDCs the programmability of CBDCs. “It can be used as a fiscal tool; it can be used for the Internet of Things.” But he doesn’t go into any detail as to what “programmability” means or what effects it has on consumers.
