Christopher Giancarlo: Fight for the Future of Money in the U.S.

Christopher Giancarlo, the former chair of the CFTC, also known as ‘Crypto Dad’ said the U.S. is resisting digitization of the dollar due to it being a threat to the country’s dominance over the traditional financial system. Central Bank Digital Currencies or CBDCs are the future of money and countries that resist innovation will become irrelevant in the global financial landscape, said Giancarlo who is also the founder of the Digital Dollar Project. In a Word on the Block interview with Forkast Editor-in-Chief Angie Lau, Giancarlo expressed his disappointment over Washington’s hostility towards cryptocurrencies. His comments come in light of the recent enforcement actions against crypto by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Ang Reactionary Political Theater ng CBDC Bans

Ang hurado ay nasa labas kung ang mga benepisyo ay mas malaki kaysa sa mga panganib ng mga digital na pera ng sentral na bangko, ngunit ang pagpigil sa pananaliksik at pagpasa ng napaaga na batas ay may kasamang sariling pinsala.
