CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) is the final and most insidious form of fiat money, since as programmable money it allows a much higher degree of control, including geofencing, time limits, restrictions on saving, blacklisting, censorship, etc. It can potentially lead to ubiquitous law enforcement and facilitate social credit systems.

A large number of governments around the world are working on developing a CBDC. 3 have launched. 36 are in the pilot stage and 30 are in development. These are some of the most relevant.
