S2E9 | The Future of Money – CBDC vs Stablecoins
Description
💡 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.
