Commentators are arguing that bitcoin's significance lies beyond its price, positioning self-custodied bitcoin as a way out of programmable state money as central bank digital currencies such as the digital euro move forward. The argument is that CBDCs could allow governments to control how money is spent, while bitcoin held in self-custody resists such controls. Critics have long disputed these claims, but the debate over CBDCs and financial privacy is intensifying.
