As Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) gain traction globally, Bitcoin’s core value—decentralization—faces a new test. While CBDCs offer efficiency and state control, they raise serious concerns about privacy, surveillance, and monetary manipulation. Bitcoin, in contrast, operates on a trustless, borderless network where users control their own funds. In 2025, the ideological divide is sharper than ever: programmable money versus permissionless freedom. Will nations embrace CBDCs at the cost of citizen privacy, or will Bitcoin emerge as digital resistance in an era of financial centralization? The choice may shape the future of money itself
