CBDCs: the Good, the Bad & the Totalitarian

In this interview, Peter McCormack, host of the What Bitcoin Did podcast, talks to the author and Professor of Finance Nik Bhatia. They discuss the rationale for CBDCs and their limitations, a new form of heavily surveilled ‘free’ banking, Bitcoin as a discovery and a right, and how the Lightning Network makes Bitcoin a currency.
