CBDCs would be a disaster for the illegal drug trade, not sure why anyone involved in it would want CBDCs to be a thing
Of course the drug trade and the dea and local law enforcement etc.
I was talking more along the lines of foreign aid or payments to ngos etc that would be virtually untraceable.
I don't see how it would turn out to be less traceable, it would be the end of the suitcase of cash era for a start...
