You're comparing a decentralized system (me, sharing info) with a centralized one (money issued by a central bank).
I can always revert to printing out pamphlets if the internet is heavily censored.
We won't be able to revert back to cash once digital money is fully implemented. They are already getting rid of ATMs and closing branches in Australia because people "have adopted digital payments". They are like: "Trust me bro, it's just free market supply and demand and totally not a carefully planned and socially engineered process of digitalization and getting rid of cash."
The most depressing thing is seeing people buy fake food, paying by phone using fake money. We're already in the metaverse.
Are you distributing information by informative pamphlet?
Not the gotcha you think it is.

It was not a gotrch-ya, but your answer tells me all I need to know about your motivation.
Good. I made my motivation perfectly clear - I don't want controlled centralized CBDC.
