From Gold and US Dollars to Bitcoin and Digital Central Bank Currencies

In this fascinating insight into the evolution of monetary systems around the globe, Nik Bhatia leads us to the origins and illustrates why money has developed in a "multilayered" way. Using gold as an example, he traces the different layers of this ancient form of money – from the raw, mined material to gold coins and ultimately to the gold certificates issued by banks.

In a groundbreaking manner, Bhatia describes a similar paradigm for the development of digital currencies. Bhatia's analysis begins in the Renaissance era in Florence with the Florin gold coin and an emerging banking culture, continues with the development of central banking, and ends with a vision for the future of our international currency system. As central banks around the world prepare to launch their own crypto competitors, Bhatia illustrates how the invention of Bitcoin has caused a seismic shift in money and has combined the monetary and cryptographic sciences.

His unique analysis of "multilayered money" sheds light on the money markets and clarifies to the general readership why Bitcoin is becoming a trusted global currency. This allows readers to develop an understanding of the mechanics of our financial system and learn why the US dollar, despite its frail state, is deeply rooted. In an exciting conclusion, he posits how digital central bank currencies (CBDCs) and cryptocurrencies will interact in our new monetary future.
