Description
As the world rushes towards Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the Author invites You to stop time, for a moment, to scrutinise what lies beyond the hype and to ask a number of important questions, that appear, so far, to have been ignored by those intent on implementation, perhaps 'at all costs'.
Questions including (but not limited to):1) Are they really as successful (where they are currently used) and desirable, as it
is claimed?
2) What risks and harms may be caused (and/or made worse) by them?
3) What alternative solutions exist for the 'problems' CBDCs are being set up to
solve?
4) Are those 'problems' really problems at all, or, are those with vested interests
creating problems that don't really exist?
5) What is it about CBDCs that the organisations promoting them, might not want
you to see?
In each Chapter of Beyond the Hype, You are encouraged to look deeper and examine the underlying technology, the politics and the propaganda that appear to underpin CBDCs.
You will engage with the practical issues that must be taken into account before projects even begin and you will see what appears to be missing from plans, which may be a costly mistake for individuals and organisations.
While reading this book, look beyond what you've been sold about CBDCs by Central Banks and other interested parties and ask yourself this key question:
Do we really need CBDCs, or will they, in fact, do more harm than good?
And see what answers arise...
