An evening lecture in London, 530pm April 13th, by the Founder of the Positive Money campaign
With the impending ‘death of cash’ and the rise of digital currencies (such as Bitcoin), there are strong arguments for central banks to start issuing “digital cash” – an electronic version of notes and coins. Done well, such digital cash might create additional purchasing power and stimulate the sluggish economy. But this raises a number of questions: how would central banks get new digital cash into the economy, and how would the public use it? Would there be any impact – positive or negative – on financial stability?
