The former went even further, suggesting that such a financial product would cause a “game over” scenario.

The potential creation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) has emerged as a highly controversial topic, with many other prominent individuals arguing against it. Such examples are the presidential candidates Ron DeSantis and Robert F. Kennedy.
