Will society really collapse if there is a digital alternative for small change? Many sceptics are worried about the implications of the decline of cash and the arrival of CBDCs. But is the fearmongering justified?
Should we fear CBDCs? In part II of our guide to the War on Cash, we look at Central Bank Digital Currencies and the risks and opportunities they entail.
What is cash, why is it on the decline, why are governments complicit in getting rid of it, and why is there pushback against the 'War on Cash'? Get up to speed with our explainer.
