Some key highlights/personal favs:

2) Pointing out that all the major forms of privately intermediated digital payments - that the Fed is using as the baseline/status quo from which a CBDC is ostensibly building on top of - have huge privacy & censorship & inclusion/access issues relative to publicly issued cash
