WARNING. A world currency that is backed by central banks is on the horizon!!

  • Episode 665
  • October 21, 2020

It looks like we will sooner rather than later see central bank digital currencies (CBDC). China is already testing their solution and others are following soon. Last week the IMF started talking about their idea to a new Bretton Woods system and this week important heads of central banks are meeting to discuss the importance of CBDCs. This week Robert Koenig highlights the risks and benefits that such a change will bring across the world. It is all about programmable money and not digital money. Bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies will be your only protection.

bp9 works with unit tests and code coverage but still having issues with signing a payload and validating the signature in his unit tests. It works about 7 out of 10 times. Solbu observes that crypto is hard! He helps his brother move house due to a job change. He is also mostly on Voyager but reality breaks through a bit :-) Doug is feeling much better after his bout with Campylobacter and returns to work on Tuesday after three weeks off. He mentions a new search engine, which handle misspelled words really well. Peter looks out of the back of his head and is still having issues with his shoulder. His wife still won't listen to her doctor.
