We're in the digital era. New strategies enable young people to work with current trends in practically every field to replace outdated ways. The Earth is drastically modified only after the virus COVID-19 dies
Complete Guide to CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)OliviaJune1
The CBDC is the digital currency managed by central banks, known as the digital fiat or digital base money. CBDC is a virtual digital token of money. Sinine currencies, cryptocurrency certifications and blockchain education are popular amongst the people as Blockchain technology has spread across the world.
Will Digital Currencies Break The Banking System? Harsh Chitroda
So, when we ask a question of how will digital currency affect banks? So, we can say that Digital currencies are likely to give central banks more insight into the movement of money in the economy. The widespread use of electronic payment systems may also aid authorities to crack down on money-laundering and terrorist-financing efforts. Or on the other hand, we can also say that the Banks are afraid because Cryptocurrency exchange is a non-banking transaction. and if the Cryptos gain favours it can disrupt the ability of banks to create money. If this disruption alarms the central banks, then they will do something about it.
Drivers for CBDC and implications for architectureDavid Birch
A discussion of the key drivers for central bank digital currency and the implications of those drivers for the likely technical architecture of a retail implementation.
By examining digital currency, we aim to better understand
the impact it can have on the broader payments ecosystem.
While the concept of digital currency was introduced more
than a decade ago, recent developments have accelerated
its adoption, such as the emergence of fat-backed digital
currencies known as ‘stablecoins’; a growing community
of developers building applications on top of blockchain based networks; and rising interest among central banks to
introduce sovereign digital currencies.

Blockchain @ ArenA Live (Knight Moves - 26 October)Koen Vingerhoets
"A couple of years ago Bitcoin revolutionised the way we think about money transactions and the economic systems around it.

Decentralized Finance On Blockchain and Smart Contract Based Financial MarketsYogeshIJTSRD
The term decentralized finance DeFi refers to an alternative financial infrastructure built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. DeFi uses smart contracts to create protocols that replicate existing financial services in a more open, interoperable, and transparent way. This paper highlights opportunities and potential risks of the DeFi ecosystem. I propose a multi layered framework to analyze the implicit architecture and the various DeFi building blocks, including token standards, decentralized exchanges, decentralized debt markets, blockchain derivatives, and on chain asset management protocols. I conclude that DeFi still is a niche market with certain risks but that it also has interesting properties in terms of efficiency, transparency, accessibility, and compos ability. As such, DeFi may potentially contribute to a more robust and transparent financial infrastructure.

A Beginner's Guide to Profiting from CryptocurrenciesNetflixTube
A cryptocurrency is a type of currency which uses digital files as money. Usually, the files are created using the same ways as cryptography (the science of hiding information). Digital signatures can be used to keep the transactions safe, and let other people check that the transactions are real.
The main point of cryptocurrency is to fix the problems of traditional currencies by putting the power and responsibility in the currency holders' hands. All of the cryptocurrencies adhere to the 5 properties and 3 functions of money. They each also attempt to solve one or more real-world problems.
In this presentation I talk about the state of the digital currency economy in mid 2020, including my unique perspective as CEO of Gilded, a B2B payment solution using digital currency.
I also discuss what it will take to get the flywheel moving and grow the digital currency economy in 2021 and beyond.

The future of cryptocurrency—some challenges
As we gaze into our crypto ball, let’s see what the future of cryptocurrency has in store for traders. With many experts estimating that the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has hastened the decline of cash by almost five years, few are asking whether digital currencies will actually succeed (they have already). Instead, it’s a matter of when they’ll go mainstream. Nevertheless, there are some challenges ahead.
Perceptions
A significant generational divide exists when it comes to adoption rates of cryptocurrencies. Older generations are typically more sceptical of crypto’s long-term viability, expressing fears about volatile financial bubbles as well as uncertainty over how cryptocurrencies actually work.
The Role of RBI on Implementation of Digital Currencies in Indiaijtsrd
In the present technological world, technology provided many advances and the widespread use of the Internet, various digital currencies have emerged. In most cases, Internet platforms such as Face book and Amazon restrict the functionality of their digital currencies to enhance the business model and maximize their profits. While platform based digital currencies would increase the efficiency of retail payments, they could also raise some important policy issues if they were to become widely used outside of the platform. Thus, it is important to closely monitor the evolution of these digital currencies.

Limiting Anonymity
An Experiment Anonymity vouchers and AML node
But what principles?
Limits on the amount of CBDC that can be
transferred in a given period of time and caps
on the CBDC holdings of individual users are
enforced at the level of individual intermediaries,
which will be driven to reject transactions that
infringe AML/CFT…
limiting the amount of CBDC at the level of
individual wallets would indirectly allow the
overall CBDC volume to be controlled if for
example the number of wallets per citizen and
the usage by non-citizens were restricted.

From Privacy to Anonymity
The Basic Options
First Party Privacy
You don’t know who you are 😂
Second Party Privacy
You don’t know who your
counterparty is
Complete privacy
You don’t know anything about them
other than an identifier (eg, a wallet
address)
Partial privacy
You know attributes but not identity
(eg, IS_OVER_18)
Third Party Privacy
No-one knows who you are or who
your counterparty is
Unconditional
It is computationally infeasible to
connect the identifier to an identity
Conditional
The link is known by some third-
party (eg, a bank) and is disclosed
under certain lawful orders.

Scenarios
Looking at the 2nd Party and 3rd Party options gives us four scenarios
Warlord Wasteland
Trade Tribes
Big Brother
Little Sisters
Complete 2nd party anonymity
Unconditional 3rd party anonymity
A secret society where there is no trust and “power”
resides with the resource-rich and unaccountable few
(and organized crime, of course).
Partial 2nd party anonymity
Unconditional 3rd party anonymity
A reputation economy in which trade can flourish in
communities of shared values and verifiable
credentials.
Complete 2nd party anonymity
Conditional 3rd party anonymity
A network of purses in a panopticon, where the
prisoners cannot see each other but the guards can
see all of them, all of the time.
Partial 2nd party anonymity
Conditional 3rd party anonymity
A world of glass houses, where the light can be

Cash Isn’t the only thing in a Wallet
“an additional goal of the [Libra] association is
to develop and promote an open identity
standard. We believe that a decentralized
and portable digital identity is a prerequisite
to financial inclusion and competition”

PBOC
Deputy governor Fan Yifei told an audience at Sibos
2020 (5th October 2020) that until “late August” the
bank had processed 3.1276 million transactions.
The total value of theses add up RMB 1.1 billion
($162 million).
More than 6,700 pilot use cases have been
implemented for the CBDC.
An aggregate of 113,300 personal digital wallets and
8,859 corporate digital wallets have been opened.

The People’s Bank of China
“it is an irresistible trend that paper money will be replaced by new products and new
technologies… digital currency should be issued by the central bank (my emphasis)… plans
to gradually phase out paper money”.
Governor of PBoC, Zhou Xiaochuan (2016).
China will adopt the “two tier” approach, noting that to offset the shock to the current banking
system imposed by an independent digital currency system they will incorporate digital
currency wallet attributes into the existing commercial bank account system
“so that electronic currency and digital currency are managed under the same account”
Yao Qian, PBOC technology department (2017).
Chinese digital currency (DC/EP) will be “exactly the same as paper money, but it is just a
digital form”
Mu Changchun, deputy director of PBoC’s payments department (2019).

Currency, Competition and Choice
DC/EP can be used “without an internet connection would also allow transactions to
continue in situations in which communications have broken down, such as an earthquake”.
This would seem to mean that the system (as Mondex did) will allow offline
transactions.
If so, this would be truly radical.
“even Libra can’t do this”.
Mu Changchun, deputy director of PBoC’s payments department (October 2019).
DC/EP will be available through banks but also in Alipay and Tencent wallets

As the PBOC say, “even Libra cannot
do this” and they are correct.

A Cold War?
But this time for data not for land

Currency Propositions
The [ECB] also sees a digital currency as a potential tool to bolster the
international role of the euro, which makes up just 20% of central-
bank reserves globally, versus the dollar’s 60%. It could let foreigners
settle cross-border transactions directly in central-bank money, which
would be faster, cheaper and safer than directing them through a web
of “correspondent” banks. That could make the digital euro attractive
to businesses and investors.
Its main draw may be to offer a level of privacy that neither
America nor China can promise, says Dave Birch, a fintech
expert. The former uses its financial system to enforce sanctions; the
latter seeks control. But getting the design right will be tricky: the
European Union still wants to be able to track cash that is being
laundered or hidden to dodge taxes. One fix could be to let users
open e-wallets only once they have been vetted by banks, but for the
use of the digital currency itself to be unmonitored.
