In this podcast, we first examine the transformative potential of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Utilizing blockchain technology, these currencies promise a revolution in financial systems, combining digital benefits with the stability of government oversight. We discuss the opportunities and challenges they present, as well as the difference between retail and wholesale versions. Following that, we turn our attention to Unrestricted Warfare, a strategic doctrine that extends beyond traditional military action. We analyze its potential manifestation in TikTok, a platform perceived as a tool for fostering societal discord, spreading misinformation, and quietly undermining Western societies. Join Ed and I as we unravel these intricate issues.
