A lot of countries are releasing/ contemplating to release their own digital currencies. EU is contemplating digital euro, Jamaica is thinking of digital Jamaican dollar.. India has already launched digital rupee..
How these currencies will affect the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem?

There is no means whereby digital fiat can be the same as cryptocurrency, all you have mentioned were just the digital form of the fiat currency issued by banks under the auspices of the CBDC but for someone who want something different could go for cryptocurrency if truly concerned with transaction speed, time, cost, security and privacy.

digital currency that is planned to be released by several countries in my opinion will not have a big effect on Bitcoin. for me, the digital currency is country-specific and Bitcoin is general in nature that many countries can use.
It will have no effect with bitcoin because the countries have no authority of regulation over it as they have control over their fiat and the digital currency of their own. Fiat or digital currency won't affect bitcoin. The government is only innovating digital currency because of the nature of exchange in global level . Digital currency is interacting with the factors that also affect or influencing fiat but different from bitcoin .
Yeah why will they be interested on to something that they cannot own directly like bitcoin when they can just create their own digital currency? they can chose to make it more centralized or regulated so they have full control over it.

If there will be effect I think that is because some crypto users will try those new digital currencies and maybe some will transfer with them completely leaving cryptos behind, this is unlikely but it can be possible for some reasons like cryptocurrencies are too anonymous and they cant track the criminals if ever one of them got victimized or cryptos are too unstable that they can lose the value of their money easily.

Digital currencies tied to nations are not a bad idea. People keep acting as if "we want decentralization!!! governments shouldn't get in!!" but they are forgetting that they are buying USDT from a company called Tether, and buying BUSD from a company called Binance, and USDC from a company called Coinbase.

So, basically the stablecoin world has been centralized since its start, it was never really a decentralized thing. It means, would you prefer that some guy being a CEO of a company be in charge of all the money you are holding, or do youw ant that to be a nation? I would prefer the nation part because even though we dislike governments, they are more trustworthy then "some guy" at the top of a company.

I think later what distinguishes bitcoin and digital currencies from those countries is a clear supply. they will only adopt blockchain for their transaction system. but I don't think it's completely decentralized like bitcoin, so I don't think this will interfere with the development of bitcoin itself

There is no need to think about it, if they are forming the digital currencies then obviously it will have proper protocol and thus it will be completely controlled currency. The control however would be on the investment, how much being transacted and from to where to would be the prime thing. So definitely it would be just the normal local currency only in the digital format and will be accessed for its integration and usage over the blockchain.

I dont think it will be much of interest to the common man or even to the peeps like us who are playing in the crypto verse. I mean why would I go and publish the available assets in my wallet to these guys? They will wreck my earnings if it does not fit in their criteria. Lolz.

Governments like the idea cryptocurrencies are trackable, but they don't like its decentralized nature, so they are going to fixe it by creating their own centralized cryptocurrencies that aren't different from traditional fiat currencies in value, purpose and usage. I believe their impact on crypto market will be zero, because people who are investing in bitcoin and altcoins aren't interest in fiat currencies, especially from third world countries.
Dont take the people running the government to be fools, the politicians are fools, but the ones who work in background are way more knowledgeable than the average forum user here. Grin

Now the governments already know this, so they will try to coerce people into using their CDBC than cryptocurrency. How they will do that, it will be seen with time.

Stablecoins are not a solution to this, they are an intermediary system to avoid the volatility of bitcoin and similar currencies and multiply your assets over the market movements. Beyond that I doubt how much actual usage they get. But if governments allows that then their use will increase.

Dont forget that the users on this forum are a small chunk of the entire population out there. We are a minority there.

CBDC cannot affect the Bitcoin ecosystem directly.All these countries could do is banning Bitcoin/crypto in the lands,which are under their jurisdiction.Such crypto/BTC bans have been proven to be not-so-effective.
The people who use Bitcoin would most likely use digital fiat currencies as well.There's no reason for anyone to be required by the law to pick between two options.
CBDCs are still a bunch of projects.I don't know why they are being viewed as a threat for the existence of the cryptocurrency world.

It’s not all about countries creating their own digital currencies, the question is whether there is anyone who even cares about the CBDC? Is this the first time that a country has made an attempt in creating their digital currency? There have been other countries before now that have created their own digital currencies, but they never really gained any much adoption, and no one is talking about them this time around.

People really don’t have interest in making use of CBDC, just like some people have pointed out, CBDC is literally just the same fiat, there isn’t any difference and it’s also same banks that are offering this service to you.
Oh, there will be for sure. I mean we are talking about something that would replace the USDT and USDC and BUSD of the world. We are talking about something that is both digital dollar but also being able to exchange with the crypto at the same time. If places like Coinbase and Binance and all of that end up accepting the level of it then we are going to end up with something a lot better in the long run compared to USDT type of stuff.

I would definitely prefer that for sure, why? Because if we end up with something like Tether company stealing all of our money, how could we even stop them? We can't and that is why I prefer governments to do it. This is stablecoin anyway, not the real cryptocurrency, so I would be fine with it.

Yeah, as someone who is a cryptocurrency trader all you’re going to need is the stable coins that we already have here in the cryptocurrency market, such as DAI and USDT, and nothing more. You don’t need CBDC because you won’t be able to trade with any of those.

When I researched on CBDC to understand what it really is, and to know whether it’s going to have any features at all that will differentiate it from the original fiat, but there isn’t. If you install the CBDC wallet from the Central Banks, you will see that only thing you can use this to do is simply just to send and receive money in your country, and it is not like Bitcoin where you can send and receive money from anywhere around the world. So it’s of no use. If I wanted to do local transactions, I can use my online banking.

India didn't launched their CBDC so its a wrong information which should be edited.

All the countries are thinking now and if you have sense then think why they are trying to create their own instead of an actual decentralized controlled by none?

Because they never want you to spend your money, they just keep everyone as slave and few as rich by keep inflating the value which decrease the purchase power of your currency gradually.

- They are pseudo cryptocurrencies, people already know that they would take over some use from fiat by reducing the cost that goes in exchange but that's about it

- Government will try and ban cryptocurrencies as well so that they have investor pooling in their digital currencies

- They might be subjected to limited use since the government might not consider the people who are actually not equipped enough to handle virtual applications

I don't think it will affect cryptocurrencies as long as the government does not come in between the normal functioning of them.

Many countries are busy developing their own central bank digital currency but in the latest development, International Monetary Fund made a statement concerning the stability and sustainability of the CBDC which is a big drawback to the government's quest to create a contender for cryptocurrency through the CBDC.
It is all a work-in-progress and the uncertainty about it is way more than that people need to think of. So lets not think about what is going to happen in future but get ready with bitcoin buying as much as we can whenever the price falls. If things go out of hand, we have nothing to do with it and have to cope with it. These are opportunities when there is a war like situation and bitcoin falls including stocks, keep money at hand and buy.

Forget what CBDC comes in, it will be for the better only, if not people will protest and governments will be forced to make changes. The governments always want new methods to tax its people, so it will be such that we can use it with some advantages not disadvantages.

To be honest, if I could remember correctly about 29-35 countries ought to have created their own digital currency since the year 2019 when the IMF boss advise them about thinking of creating their own CBDC which will serve ease of payment and possibly reduce the level of fiat printing. They were all serious about it then but they later throw it away and it will be nice if they are serious about it now crypto is extremely trending.

The countries are just following the latest technology in the finance world. They have the digital version of their currency. The value of the digital version is the value of the physical version. Since it does not appreciate it does not compete with bitcoin. If the value of their physical currency depreciates, the value of their digital token will depreciate also.
My country also has their own e-naira but many people are not using it.

But if there's a good effect of this, it would be on the side of governments. If all of fiat is issued digitally and on a transparent blockchain, then public spending and budget allocation is easily monitored. 

I think transparent spending by the government in fiat currency can help reduction of inflation in this time of high inflation they have to avoid certain recurrent expenditure. Budget should not be padded but made free from manipulation of figure, the government including so much of padded expenses that is not reflecting on the economy is corrupt practice which does not help the economy.

There's not much effect, if at all. These central bank-issued currencies, after all, are not in any way similar to Bitcoin except their being digital currencies.

And this is not really a huge transformation. As a matter of fact, there's not much difference between the current status of fiat and the new digital currencies. Even before this idea of a CBDC is thought of, fiat is already developing toward digitalization.

But if there's a good effect of this, it would be on the side of governments. If all of fiat is issued digitally and on a transparent blockchain, then public spending and budget allocation is easily monitored.

It all depends how they will be implementing these currencies.

If the governments "outlaw" all other Crypto currencies to force people to use their digital currency, then it will have a bad influence on the adoption of Bitcoin.

If the governments define Bitcoin as a "Commodity" and not as legal tender, then obviously Bitcoin adoption as a payment system will suffer as a result. (This is how most governments are currently protecting the Fiat currencies)  Roll Eyes

I want Bitcoin and these digital currencies to have a level playing field, to see which one will win in the end. (Centralized or Decentralized)  Wink

Outlawing cryptocurrencies will probably be impossible this time because of the countries adopting BTC. There are lots of them already which even the politicians in the US are already protecting and proposing legislation for the use of BTC. Because of these, the governments will just be forced to regulate cryptocurrencies which is what they are currently been doing. The effect is the trust to cryptocurrency or BTC kept going up.

I'm sure the implementation of government back digital currencies and the laws being created from then on will just be to make the transactions of market participants be transparent in the CBDC platform.
