The major issues with CBDC has not been the digitalisation of it but rather the issues of centralization as opposed to decentralisation and the fact that, its always going to he ravaged by issues of inflation. Digital dollar would remain a boundary bonded currency and that's not what bitcoin is. The uniqueness of bitcoin would always be its stronghold and the reason it persists in our world.

Having the government hedge on the energy consumption has become an old news and it would be washed away with the strokes of the clock. The CBDC will never hold a substantial threat to bitcoin.

a CBDC is not a threat.
its underlying value is locked to its laws. such as minimum wage and its inflation rate.

EG if min wage is CBDC=1hour labour. and each year there is 5% inflation
then in 10 years that 10CBDC is equivalent to only 44 minutes of labour
this means if you can buy 4 loaves of bread today if bread was pegged at 16min labour.. you can only buy 3 loaves in a decade

bitcoins value is supported at the bottom by the lowest cost to acquire it on the planet. which due to its deflationary process increases noticeably every four years meaning after 10 year the lowest value of bitcoin will buy you more bread than the first year

a governments CBDC may feel slightly different to use than mastercard/paypal. but ultimately it ends up being the same moving government money, pay taxes and have value decline due to inflation. and yes they will still 'create' new money at a unmeasured rate of their whim

bitcoins features and utility are different to government money. used for different things and supports a different value system

think of fiat/CBDC as things to get rid of, spend as quick as you can when you get it or invest it.. and think of bitcoin as the place to put it when you want to save/invest your value and not lose it by just holding fiat/CBDC

I don't believe this is a threat to Bitcoin. Nothing happened when China banned Bitcoin and launch its digital currency. Rather it would be easier to convert into fiat once the exchange adds digital dollar or fiat. Then we don't need to run for paper money. And the blame for energy consumption isn't new anything.

Digital dollar is not a threat to bitcoin, no. Digital dollar is just a stablecoin, a shitcoin. It’s the same as the regular USD, they will be able to track everything you spend. They will be able to see what you like buying, where you eat, where you hang out. It’s full on communism, straight out of China.

Bitcoin is so much better in all ways. There’s a fixed supply, you can buy what you want & nobody can stop you. Your money won’t be eaten by inflation. You can transact P2P without government surveillance.

Buy bitcoin!

The digital dollar you are saying about is the CBDC which is already in existence in many countries, including China that you mentioned. I want to note that your caption is wrong or doesn't correlate with the body. The real question would have been "Will digital dollar be a threat to stable coins like USDT".

Bitcoin is in different class as it is not centralized, unlike some stable coins and the alleged digital dollar. Then, to answer your question, there'll be no difference between fiat dollar and digital dollar. So, since fiat dollar doesn't affect Bitcoin, the digital version will not also. The innovation will encourage many to learn about cryptocurrency, it is an advantage.

I really do not think digital dollar would be a threat to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is seen as a store of value while some see it as digital gold. Digital dollar can stand as a means of transacting with Bitcoin for value but can not in any way effect or compete with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has already been in existence before digital dollar and come to talk of it, digital dollar is just currency to complement the fiat. So therefore I see no reason it Should be a threat to Bitcoin.

Digital dollars or any CBDC coin will not affect or threaten bitcoin. Simply because their essence is still the original fiat only converted to digital, still government-administered, still issued without limits, and will lose value over time. Actually, I don't see a difference between fiat and CBDC.
With the development of technology as well as the digitization of everything today, upgrading fiat to digital is inevitable. The goal is not that it will compete with bitcoin but the goal is to bring convenience to people as well as greater control for governments.

Most economic activity in the US is already digital. I don't know how an official diftal currency would look like. Would it only be used for settlements or will people be buying their coffee with it? It won't be a threat to bitcoin regardless. There will always be a need for something that is permissionless and censorship-resistant.

Digital dollar will not be a thread for Bitcoin.

It is similar to stable coins that are abundant in crypto market but it has a big different characteristic. It is built, launched and managed by central banks and governments. It won't be collapsed like UST from Terra and it is advantage of governmental digital dollar.

Growth of digital dollar and CBDCs will result in more and stricter solutions from governments in regulations, law enforcements in order to control stable coins as well as reduce effects of stable coins. They will do all these to get as much benefit as possible for their CBDCs.
