Top 10 questions about CBDCs!

March 24, 2021 by Rich Turrin

I had a fantastic time with the MBA students from Dalhousie University, Rowe School of Business in Canada and am grateful to their Professor Maria Pacurar for inviting me to speak.  Thank-you again Maria!

What follows is a video with a “lightning round” that covers their Top 10 questions on CBDCs following a presentation on CBDC.

I loved the student’s questions which helped me understand what others are thinking about CBDCs.

The answers are a great share for those wanting to learn more about CBDCs.

The video is 9 minutes, longer than my normal 3 minute limit.

To make it easier to understand what’s inside and find what interests you the top 10 questions are:

   10)  Bank Runs

   9) When?

   8) What is Selectable Privacy?

   7) Cyber-Attacks

   6) US Falling Behind?

   5) Blockchain

   4) Culture!

   3) Financial Inclusion

   2) Dollar impact

   1) CBDC and Bitcoin

The top 10 countdown behind me in the video will make it easy to find a particular question that may interest you.

Hope you all find this fun and get both a smile out of my animated delivery and just maybe get some of your CBDC questions answered.
