According to @milesdeutscher, imminent CBDC rollouts and their ability to freeze wallets, expand surveillance, link to digital IDs, and enable programmable money could push users toward Bitcoin (BTC) as a hedge, creating a multi-year trading narrative for BTC demand, source: Miles Deutscher on X dated Jan 6, 2026. CBDC development is already advanced globally, with the Bank for International Settlements reporting that over 130 jurisdictions are exploring CBDCs and multiple live launches or pilots underway, supporting the premise of near-term rollouts, source: BIS CBDC surveys 2023–2024. Live or large-scale retail pilots include the Bahamas Sand Dollar, Nigeria eNaira, Jamaica JAM-DEX, China’s e-CNY pilots, India’s e-Rupee pilots, and the euro area’s digital euro preparation phase, indicating concrete policy momentum that markets can track, source: Central Bank of The Bahamas; Central Bank of Nigeria; Bank of Jamaica; People’s Bank of China; Reserve Bank of India; European Central Bank, 2020–2024. Central bank design papers confirm that features such as transaction rules, account-level limits, and programmable payments are technically feasible within CBDC architectures, aligning with the control capabilities highlighted by Deutscher, source: ECB digital euro investigation and preparation documents 2023–2024; BIS CBDC architecture reports 2020–2024. Deutscher contends these controls could erode trust in fiat money and catalyze incremental BTC adoption as an alternative store of value, framing a trading catalyst around CBDC policy milestones, source: Miles Deutscher on X dated Jan 6, 2026.
