Completely planned. Just waaaaaay too many pieces falling into place under this virus crisis to be coincidental.
Even if the bug wasn't created for the purpose, the response was completely planned.

... In a new project by the Atlantic Council Global Business and Economics Center and Harvard University Belfer Center we will begin tracking what the world is doing on central bank digital currencies: ...
Gary Gensler (born October 18, 1957) is Professor of the Practice of Global Economics and Management, MIT Sloan School of Management, Co-Director of MIT’s Fintech@CSAIL and Senior Advisor to the MIT Media Lab Digital Currency Initiative.[1] He also is an American public official and currently leads the Biden-Harris transition agency review team responsible for the Federal Reserve, Banking and Securities Regulators group.[2]
Fan Yifei, deputy governor of the PBOC, said last year that there is a “pressing need to digitalize cash and coin” as producing and storing these currently is expensive. In an article in state-backed publication Yicai Global, Fan said cash and coins are not easy to use, they’re easy to counterfeit and because of their anonymity, could be used for illicit purposes.
The PBOC sees a number of other benefits to the digital yuan.
In a separate article, Fan outlined how a CBDC could make payments more efficient and improve the transmission of monetary policy. Fan also argues (d21: argues with who? himself?) that a digital yuan could help with financial stability through a system of “controllable anonymity.” This is where the payments would be anonymous to some degree, but data analysis tools could help the central bank catch illegal activities. more at link
Infinite crypto just like fiat dollars only everything would be ledger, and I mean everything.
Thats how I see it , a US digital Fed dollar would be no different than an unbacked worthless paper dollar except they can capture tax info more easily .

The Bank of England has released a new consultation paper that outlines the goals of its digital pound project and pitches the idea of creating a “new form of digital money for use by households and businesses for their everyday payments needs.”
...
Based on the design outlined in the paper, the central bank would be the sole issuer of a digital pound, which would be accessible to individuals and businesses via smartphones or cards. Wallets would be anonymized on the central bank's ledger to address privacy concerns and the digital currency would be non-programmable, meaning authorities can't control how people spend their money.
“The Bank will not implement central bank-initiated programmable functions,” a separate technical working paper said. “Instead, the Bank would provide the necessary infrastructure for the private sector to implement programmability features for users. Those features would require user consent.”
The consultation paper is meant to pitch the idea of a digital pound to the public and solicit comments on the proposed design to help the central bank determine if the creation of a digital pound is warranted. The ultimate goal of the paper is to help increase public engagement and work to enhance public trust in the event that a digital pound is launched.

Britons would be limited to 20,000 digital pounds (US$24,000 or RM103,736) each if the country goes ahead with a digital currency, Bank of England (BoE) Deputy Governor Jon Cunliffe said yesterday.
...
“We propose a limit of between £10,000 and £20,000 per individual as the appropriate balance between managing risks and supporting wide usability of the digital pound,” Cunliffe said in a speech.
A limit of £10,000 would mean that three quarters of people could receive their pay in digital pounds as well as holding pre-existing balances in the same account, while a £20,000 limit would allow almost everyone to use digital pounds for day-to-day transactions, Cunliffe said.
Money above the cap would be “swept” into a customer’s commercial bank account given that a digital pound would not be a means for storing wealth, he told members of UK Finance, a banking industry body.

According to former People’s Bank of China deputy governor and current IMF deputy managing director Bo Li:
“The Handbook will be a compendium of knowledge and experience on CBDC. It will be the basis for capacity development and hopefully help countries make as well-informed decisions as possible when taking the major step to design and issue their own CBDC.”
