Okay, fair enough; but the point stands that the central bank retains the authority it has, entirely independently of such considerations. As far as I can tell anyway. If one is necessarily obliged to use their tokens by force of law, there’s not much practical difference.
Sure, I can theoretically conceive of a number of things happening that remove them from this illustrious position of authority. I can even also see value in hedging against such contingencies. But it would actually have to happen, first, if we really want to do something different.
