News & Views Podcast | Episode 156: Financial Education, Everyday CBDC Use &
Following a couple of weeks of absences, The Fintech Times Podcast team was back together again as the trio explored the world of digital currencies and financial inclusion. Initially, Francis, Tom and Polly discussed Bitcoin’s all-time high and what it would take for the record to be broken once again; they looked towards the impact the next US presidential election would have on the value of the cryptocurrency, especially if Trump should win.
Following this, the topic of discussion turned towards financial inclusion and GoHenry’s new manifesto. The team discussed which parts of the manifesto they found most important. The trio unanimously agreed that they couldn’t see a reason the government wouldn’t support the manifesto as it called for greater education surrounding finances, outside of maths lessons.
Lastly, the Podcast team returned to the topic of digital currencies as they analysed what different industry experts predicted would need to happen for CBDCs to see greater mainstream adoption. Polly highlighted the importance of showcasing the benefits of CBDCs as people would likely be uninclined to change their normal payment methods if there wasn’t an obvious improvement.
