The case for and against Central bank Digital Currencies - CBDC's.
Hi, in three minutes, I will break down the case for and against central bank digital currencies, CBDCs relative to crypto.
Unlike cryptocurrencies built on decentralized blockchains, CBDCs are centrally controlled by governments, which raises concerns about privacy, censorship, potential misuse of data, and of course, tyranny.
There is a very valid fear that CBDCs could give governments unprecedented control over individual finances, which potentially limits freedom of movement and access to alternative currencies.
Consider this. You go to a grocery store, you try to buy milk or beef, and suddenly they tell you, well, you can't spend this money on meat products. You get the point. Surveillance and control.
With detailed transaction data readily available, CBDCs could raise concerns about mass surveillance and erosion of individual privacy. Another very valid concern.
Now conclusively, instead of viewing CBDCs and cryptocurrencies as enemies locked in a battle for supremacy, a more nuanced picture emerges. They can coexist and even complement each other. CBDCs can bring unbanked populations into the fold and streamline digital payments.
Stay tuned.

Part 2 (Episode 5) of my interview with KauriHero of MASQ protocol. We discuss the metaverse...this idea of the metaverse. Does it create a wider gulf between humans? Perhaps a false reality?
This is one of my favorite interviews. We discuss the philosophy behind the human condition and it's relation to technology and adoption. We discuss privacy and why it's a fundamental human right, and we use real world examples. our chared expereinces makes this episode a must for every listener.
With zero VC funding, the MASQ team has delivered where few teams have. At the helm, KauriHero. He has managed business teams for over 12 years, utilizing every aspect of his strong technical education and background in systems engineering, business leadership, and change management.
Web2 saw the creation of centralized architectures that deviate profoundly from the openness of the original internet and the companies that capitalized on these architectures have experienced immense growth. In response, the MASQ team has spent three years building an open-sourced core software capable of forming a resilient peer-to-peer decentralized network using Rust programming – this is called the MASQ Node.
“From these humble beginnings, MASQ has gone on to reach remarkable milestones and we invite you to join us in bringing online freedom and security into this next evolution of the World Wide Web.” – KauriHero
