A CBDC Would Be: About the worst possible thing to happen to the U.S./World

My god ... if you think your phone listens and spies on you, just wait until every. single. thing. you. ever. buy is watched, recorded, and used against you.

Holy shit. The implications of such a thing are ... bad. Everything Bitcoin solves, CBDC would be the inverse of.

Satoshi Math mistake?

On page 7, where Satoshi shows the Poisson distribution, the probability that the attacker can reach and find a malicious node and reduce the gap by -1.

He has the Poisson formula, multiplied by each attacker's progress, where there is a split function. If k <= z, Qz applies where (Z - K), but in that case, wouldn't K be less STRICT than Z ? since if K <= Z, and if K = Z, then (Z-K) = 0, giving rise to the division of a 1, and it would go to the party case below, creating a contradiction, since the one below gives 1 always for K > Z, but the other K = Z also gives 1, and K is not > Z in this case.

Shouldn't it be something like, the first case IF K < Z , and the second case be K >= Z ?
