💡 From your morning coffee to cross-border payments, money is going digital. But who will define it: governments with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), or private innovators with stablecoins?
🌍 In this episode, Dr. Jen unpacks:
-
What CBDCs are, with real-world examples (Bahamas, Nigeria, China).
-
How stablecoins like USDT & USDC work—and where regulation steps in.
-
Why the U.S. lags behind on CBDCs while stablecoins grow.
-
The key trade-offs: trust, privacy, control, and regulation.
⚖️ Why it matters: The future of money affects how you get paid, spend, and save.
👉 Actionable Questions:
-
Would you trust a digital dollar issued by the Fed more than USDC from a private company?
-
How much privacy should we trade for faster, safer payments?
-
Who should control the money of the future—governments or private firms?
Don’t let others define it for you. Tune in, think critically, and join the conversation.
