I'm not going to debate the pros/cons of bitcoin, but I'd bet my entire net worth that at some point in the not-too-distant future, all countries will convert to a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency). It's much harder to evade taxes when every transaction has an online trail.

Yep.
It's also much easier to debank people who don't behave.
