????CBDC ROUNDTABLE WITH?CHRISTIAN LINDNER ??
Expect a heated discussion when Bitcoin-hodlers meet centralized fiat-issuers such as representatives of the European Central Bank. Recently, the two worlds met in Berlin at the CBDC-roundtable, invited by the FDP and Christian Lindner, Federal Minister of Finance. The top minds heard the call and came together to represent our industry, including our conferences' founder Fabian.?The background of the discussion was the investigation phase of the ECB's plan to issue a digital euro.?
While we are glad that so many knowledgeable minds were present, we have open questions towards the ECB that you might like to share, if you have the chance to do so:
1.?How transparent will the underlying tech become??We would prefer a public ledger and open-source standards instead of private databases only visible to a small elite of selected institutions.?
2.?How will the Euro-CBDC be issued and distributed??If any, we would prefer an open, anonymous, and widely accessible distribution instead of only a few banks controlling the flow of Euro-CBDC.
3.?What is the actual purpose and benefit of CBDCs??While the ECB argues that CBDCs promote financial inclusion and reduce the cost of transactions, it is unclear how they differ from existing digital payment systems, how they would defend against cyberattacks as the single point of failure in this system, and whether the disadvantages truly outweigh the benefits.?
If you would like to continue this conversation, join us at BLOCKCHANCE 23 for the regulation panels on?June 29th.?

In addition, we see the convergence of finance with everyday use cases in the web3 space. Without the technological and mental legacies of TradFi, startups can break new ground and lead the disruption. That's what we want to encourage and support." -?Andreas Traum, Partner Financial Services at PwC Germany.
