S2E9 | The Future of Money – CBDC vs Stablecoins


Listen Later

💡 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.
