OP has to understand that CBDC has a significant advantage over the fiat money and that's how every government in the world will eventually adopt this proposition of slowly de-circulate the fiat money. But it's definitely not a win-win situation for all! because the end consumers like us will have significant disadvantages if all fiat are de-circulated. How would you earn black money? How would you not pay taxes? These are main questions from the end consumers and that's where the government is planning to hit hard!

So like it or not, CBDC will take over fiat in next few years. Not only US, but other countries with decent internet infrastructure will also opt for it. It will make money laundering impossible. It will make you pay your taxes on every income earned. It's a disadvantage because fiat still has a certain degree of anonymity which CBDC won't offer. Anything and everything will be visible to the government and any black money circulation can be quickly tracked. Any financial fraud will become next to impossible and even if it happens, the recovery will be quicker. Banks won't have to maintain an extensive ATM infrastructure. These are just few benefits to the government among others.

This seems more like a conspiracy theory,rather than an actual theory.
The idea of creating money that have an expiry date is very interesting.This would definitely boost spending and savings in other assets (real estate,stocks,commodities,cryptocurrencies). Storing cash money would become pointless.However,I don't think that your conspiracy theory will become a reality.
Nothing threatens the US dollar right now.I know that the global fiat financial system is a giant bubble,but this bubble won't burst soon.Maybe after several decades,but not now.
It would be interesting,if someone creates an experimental altcoin,which has an expiry date,so the pump&dump traders would have to get rid of the altcoin,before the date of expiry. Grin

In May, US President Biden intends to announce the transition from a cash dollar to a digital one? If this means the digitized dollar (CBDC), then it was previously written that the United States will be able to introduce it no earlier than 2025. So far there is no serious preparation in this direction. I don't think that the US will abandon the circulation of the cash dollar, even if it is a gradual and gradual process. Cash is the easiest and most reliable way to make small transactions and is sometimes the most affordable under certain circumstances. In addition, the situation on the financial market, in connection with Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, is changing very quickly. But May will come, let's listen to Biden, what he can offer new.

The United States of America went through three great shocks:

1. Creation of Federal Reserve
2. 1933 gold confiscation
3. Nixon ending gold/dollar convertability

Now the United States of America is planning a secret fourth shock:
4. The destruction of the dollar/cash and the introduction of a digital dollar !

(The fear is that this will give the goverment to much control over it's citizens)
(The 2022 Russia special military operation in Ukraine has lead to the rest of the world banning Russia from all kinds of systems, including banking systems, services, companies, etc. a major sign of things to come. Will Russia transition towards bitcoin ? Will other countries transition towards bitcoin ? Will there be a war between bitcoin and digital dollar ? Will there be a crack down on bitcoin ? Was the covid-19 pandemic a beta test to see how people would react to cashless systems and lock downs, restrictions, denied access, etc ?!)

The rumor is that on 20 may 2022 current USA president Biden will announce this on television, just like a USA President Nixon shocker !

Negative interest rates on bank accounts !
Taxes on imaginery profits on bank accounts !
Disappearing 500 euro bills, will they come back because of inflation ?
Disappearing ATM machines.
Disappearing banking facilities.
