Overview
Along with many other countries, the U.S. is investigating switching to a digital dollar. Misyrlena Egkolfopoulou and Claire Ballentine wrote an article for Bloomberg, “What a U.S. Digital Dollar Means for the Future of Your Wallet,” analyzing what considerations would be a part of the decision. This talk reenergizes the debate of what services should be public and which should be private. On that, Joe Carlasare is quoted in the article, pointing out that “The demand for things like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is because they have attributes that the dollar does not have.”
