Bloomberg New Economy Conversations: The Ascent of Digital Money
Covid-19 has accelerated a monetary revolution. China is at the forefront, launching the world’s first central bank-issued digital currency. Bitcoin is rocketing in value, although debate rages over whether it is “digital gold,” a hedge against inflation at a time of rampant government spending, or fool’s gold. Bloomberg New Economy Editorial Director Andy Browne discusses the ascent of digital money with IMF Economic Counsellor Gita Gopinath, Mastercard's Raj Dhamodharan, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, and Grayscale Investments CEO Michael Sonnenshein. (Source: Bloomberg)
