Well, many CBDCs are already expected to launch. They are coming and it is normal because the world is turning digital. The digital dollar of the United States will be successful of course. But is this a threat to bitcoin? It is simple, the digital dollar is the same fiat inflationary centralized money while bitcoin is secure and decentralized. Maybe the question should be made the opposite because bitcoin is the real threat to this old centralized fiat system.
You can say that again. Bitcoin is really the threat of the digital dollar. Not the other way around. Governments (including the US) are afraid Bitcoin will take over the global economy, urging them to launch CBDCs of their own before they're left behind in the dust. I'd say they will succeed with the launch of the new digital cash system, but they will be unable to "defeat" Bitcoin because of its decentralized and censorship-resistant design.
In fact, I think CBDCs will be beneficial towards Bitcoin because they will increase awareness of digital currencies all around the world. People who haven't heard of or used crypto before, will get into Bitcoin when they hear paper money will be phased out of existence for good. Now the question would be whenever the USD will be able to retain its place as the reserve currency of the world right after it becomes a CBDC or fall all the way down the drain. If the US quickly launches its own CBDC system, then it's likely the US Dollar's position will remain unchanged. But be aware that China has already been the pioneer in CBDCs, launching the "Digital Yuan" before anyone else. It's a highly-competitive world out there, but at least we can be sure Bitcoin won't be going anywhere soon. Just my thoughts

Right mate. Visa, Mastercard, and there's Paypal and the online industry is becoming a norm with stores like Amazon and eBay becoming huge but we haven't heard of any governments creating CBDCs. CBDCs only came up serious when Bitcoin and some of the top altcoins like Ethereum became big from millions to billions and then they just continue to grow bigger reaching into a trillion-dollar industry. Governments and banks tried to stop the growth of Bitcoin before but to no avail. Big companies are starting to realize the value and potential and they are also starting to adopt. So someone tells us if Bitcoin is not a threat to this old inflationary centralized monetary system?

Bitcoin leads to the creation of CBDCs. And you're right mate, CBDCs can remain as primary currencies in this growing digital world but they also exposed their citizens to Bitcoin and crypto. Sooner or later, more and more people realized the importance of privacy and most especially the limited supply of Bitcoin compared to the unlimited fiat supply. The weakening of the US dollar's influence on the world market due to Chinese competition and the current arms race and mobilizations lead people to just select a decentralized currency like Bitcoin since it is not directly affected by politics.
