CBDCs are overhyped

according to a Bank of Canada study. About a one minute read, article contains link to full study for the deep dive.

Comment: not surprised to read this really, CBDCs always seemed to be a solution looking for a problem. And the social considerations (e.g., privacy, ceding full control over your money to the government, lack of anonymity) seemed significant and never were really addressed by the proponents of a CBDC.
