#381 - Professor Brunello Rosa: CBDCs and The Future Of Money

Today I was joined by Professor Brunello Rosa, author of the book Smart Money to discuss digital money, CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), and how China is winning the race for the future of money! We break down what a CBDC really is, why it matters for our future, and how China is already light-years ahead when it comes to digital currency. They are 10 years ahead of the West in the development and practical role-out of digital money.  We’ll explore the privacy concerns surrounding CBDC's and programmable money. Are CBDCs a threat to our freedom or the natural next step in the evolution of money? Why is the West lagging behind China, and what does that mean for the global balance of power? 💸 Don’t miss out—subscribe and hit the bell for more in-depth conversations about the money of tomorrow! #CBDC #DigitalMoney #China #SmartMoney #Fintech #Crypto #Podcast https://x.com/brunello_rosa  Smart Money: How Digital Currencies Will Shape the New World Order -  https://amzn.to/4jGDPLq  00:00 Analog to Digital Transition 07:59 Defining Digital Identity 14:03 CBDC Privacy and Control Concerns 19:01 Digital Currency: Privacy vs. Control 22:02 Central Bank Counterparty Management 30:31 "Phone Dependency and Innovation" 36:36 "Web 3.0: The End of Salaries?" 41:45 Escaping Machine-Driven Work Cycle 45:01 Central Bank Oversight on Transactions 52:24 Dollar Dominance vs. Renminbi Challenges 53:37 Digital Infrastructure and Currency Strategy 01:00:41 "Future of Digital Currency Evolution" 01:07:38 Changing Perspectives on CBDCs ----------------------------------------------------- PRE-ORDER MY GAMESTOP BOOK - https://wen-moon.com  Cast-Magic: The World's Most Powerful Content Tool (30% off with code Casting30) - https://get.castmagic.io/4ktvtch68y67  Make Professional Looking Clips In Seconds With Opus - https://www.opus.pro/?via=ee2b04  Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq    ----------------------------------------------------- You can listen to the show on Spotify, Apple, and all major platforms - https://chatterpodcast.podbean.com/  Watch Us On Odysee.com - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@TheJist:4    Join My Mailing List - https://stats.sender.net/forms/dNZK8d/view  Follow Me On Twitter - https://twitter.com/Give_Me_TheJist  ----------------------------------------------------- Website - https://thejist.co.uk/    Music from Just Jim – https://soundcloud.com/justjim
