A U.S. CBDC: Disaster, or An Idea Who’s Time Has Come?
The notion of a digital dollar for the United States has been increasingly in the news over the last month. Research into a potential Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) was called for by an executive order from President Biden in March, and it’s easy to see why: between efforts abroad from China to make moves in the space, to the increasing adoption rate of cryptocurrencies and other faster payments technologies, it’s clear to see that the technology has caught up to the vision, and implementation could offer significant advantages. However, not everyone thinks that a Federal Reserve-backed digital currency is

What to do when the crypto is bad
With the crypto market in stasis, here are some ways to use your time in limbo productively.
In late 2018, the crypto market died. For literally months the price did nothing except bracket up and down, seemingly without reason, and at one point traded in a US$100 range for
Could a Central Bank Digital Currency be in the Cards for the U.S.?
President Biden called last week for an urgent, government-wide focus from the U.S. into the research of a potential Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in an executive order.

Discussion on what shape that research may take – and whether it’s beneficial for the U.S. to seriously take a look at investing in a digital dollar – was the subject of last week’s meeting of the Chicago Payments

DAOs: The Next Blockchain Frontier?
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) came back into the news in 2021, generally falling into two categories: blockchain projects generally centered around the issuance of Ethereum-based tokens, and blockchain-powered crowdfunding ventures for investors. To say that DAOs got off to a rocky start would be something of an understatement. The original DAO, formed in 2016 under simply that name, lost more than $50 million dollars in Ethereum to hackers within a month of their formation, and for a time it seemed like the organization was just another crypto dead end—a place to lose money. But with the explosion of DeFi over
