ransmission tower by the Yangtze River in Wuhu, East China's
If the world is getting a new currency, will it be led by CBDCs, a permissionless blockchain like Bitcoin or a permissioned chain such as Diem? I think for a period of time, we are going to have all of the above. Some countries like China are strongly pursuing the CBDC route, which gives them more surveillance and control over their economy and population. They’ll have a greater ability to surveil transactions, block transactions, automatically debit people’s accounts based on infractions or ...

Aerial photo taken on Nov 11, 2021 shows workers riveting screws on a power
What are the top five Crypto Twitter feeds you can’t do without, and why? That’s a tough question because I like dozens of them. There are plenty of resources that I like from different platforms (e.g., podcasts, interviews, books, articles and so forth), but specifically for Twitter, I guess I have to go with @PrestonPysh, @Gladstein, @Adam3us, @Skwp and @Lightning.

although they are always trying to balance the two sides, analysts said.
The entire world has a store-of-value problem. Interest rates in all developed countries are below the inflation rate.

In other words, we store a monetary premium in otherwise non-monetary assets above and beyond their utility value, as we want to hold anything other than cash. This is a problem leading to tens of trillions, or even over a hundred trillion dollars worth of monetary pr...
