Ep 15: Will the U.S. Dollar Go Digital?

Buckle up, because today we’re diving into the recent buzz around digital currency in the United States. As you might’ve heard, the Federal Reserve recently announced its openness to experimenting with the development and implementation of a digital U.S. dollar. While this possibility may seem daunting, there’s no need to panic just yet. It’s a multi-faceted issue with many layers to consider, and it is certainly not set to happen anytime soon. However, it’s a topic worth exploring, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do today.

Before we jump to conclusions, it’s important to understand the reasoning behind this potential decision and what it could mean for the future in this rapidly evolving world of technology and currency. In this episode, we’ll take a closer look at what this could mean for the U.S. dollar, why it’s being considered, and the pros and cons associated with it.
