I was chatting with my friend Shirley this afternoon about this. In my novel, The Bitcoin Singularity, the plot holds the distinct advantage that the financial collapse has already happened and that CBDCs were tried and failed. I think in this environment, adoption becomes much more likely - inevitable even. Not that I’m cheering on the collapse or anything, but it’s a hard sell right now whilst everything is, nominally at least, still ‘working’ and bills are still paid in fiat.
