In this episode of Bell Curve, we explore the implications of CBDCs and how governments will use CBDC efficiencies as a veneer for control. We start by discussing stablecoins, how Tether has surprisingly become the "trusted" stable of crypto (or has it...) and the heated CBDC debate. We also discuss startup treasury management, if apps will launch their own L2s or launch on an existing ecosystem, the commercial real estate disaster and more!
