Your overall explanation of both cbdc and cryptos are good. But you don't give examples to illustrate the differences. How many people understand the words centralized and decentralized?.

By CBDC being centralized, it means that there is a central control of the currency by one agency which often is the Central Bank.

By crypto being decentralized, it means no one is in control of it. It exists and runs itself independently.

CBDCs are a hybrid from blockchain technology for use in favor of a European central bank with special characteristics imposed by these entities and totally centralized, cryptocurrencies in their counterpart are more decentralized depending on which one we are talking about and are mostly pseudonymous and they do not have a central entity that governs said cryptocurrency.

CBDC is a digital currency created by depositing fiat currency in the central bank, for example, in order to create 100 CBDC, the government has to deposit the equivalent of fiat money. A crypto coin is a coin created on a blockchain that uses cryptography.

They are two different things and can not be compared because one, which is the CBDC is for a country currency.
So it is not possible that we compare Bitcoin with dollar as they are different

CBDC uses a private blockchain, CBDC is controlled by a central bank and can replace currency as legal tender, CBDC users will have an identity tied to a bank account. Whereas cryptocurrency uses a public blockchain that can be opened by anyone, no one controls it so the price is set by the market. crypto users are anonymity,
