Cashless China: Exploring the Ground-breaking Payment Trends Across China.

September 6, 2021 by Rich Turrin

Thank you to Brian Larson and The Fintech Times for this fabulous review of Cashless!

 

“A fantastic read”

Highlights:

“Turrin’s Cashless is a marathon read. At close to 400 pages, each page is packed with tiny titbits of well-researched data that, when viewed from a 300ft tall vantage point, paint a realistic and optimistic view of the future of banking, finance and the technology that will power these industries into a new ‘cashless’ globe.”

 

Turrin’s recounting of the regulatory quagmire that fed the peer-to-peer (P2P) lending crisis in China was
illuminating

I absolutely loved Turrin’s use of example walk-throughs as he explained the many pros and far fewer cons to China’s rolling out of a central bank digital currency

I really liked Turrin’s rationale around why China’s CBDC does not mean the complete demise of the
dollar
