    Even central currencies can work if you can make offline and peer to peer payments.

    Not easy to pull off cryptographically, though.

      True, but do you really expect them to let you use a central bank digital currency peer-to-peer and not have some way of revoking your access to it? If so, you’re absolutely nuts, LOL.
