Can #CBDC replace cryptocurrency?

Central Bank Digital Currency (#CBDC ) is a state-controlled digital monetary unit regulated by the government. In contrast, Bitcoin ($BTC ) is a decentralized asset with a limited supply (21 million coins) that operates on a blockchain.

Main differences:

• Decentralization: Bitcoin is not dependent on governments, while #CBDC is controlled by the state.

• Emission: $BTC has a fixed number of coins, while CBDC can be printed without limits.

• Privacy: cryptocurrencies provide financial autonomy, while CBDC can be used for transaction monitoring.

Despite the fact that CBDC will become an important tool in the financial system, it is unlikely to replace Bitcoin. BTC will remain digital "gold" and a hedge against inflation, while CBDC will serve as a digital version of fiat money. Most likely, they will coexist, serving different functions.
