Executive Summary
In this episode, our guest Kimmo discusses the concept and potential of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in part two of our series. We highlight the need for government control of the monetary system and the risks posed by private currencies. We explore various use cases and mechanisms that can encourage the adoption and success of CBDCs, including simplifying cross-border transactions and optimizing liquidity. We also dive into the idea of purpose-bound money and the importance of simplicity and convenience in utilizing CBDCs. As always we emphasize the role of entrepreneurs in developing new use cases and analyzing consumer behavior to drive CBDC adoption. Analytical approaches and network analysis play a crucial role in this process.

Three Key Developments in CBDC in The Last Year
We had our last update with Kimmo almost a year ago and since there have been three important developments:
1) CBDC does not have to be on blockchain anymore, the discussion has shifted to other cryptographic means.
2) The conversation has also shifted to tokenization for bank deposits and inter-bank lending for Central Bank Digital Currencies
3) CBDCs have been launched in other countries, especially in China. We do not see a large-scale adoption there yet, since there is a real use case missing.

Questions Discussed In This Interview:
How successful do you think the speaker's experiment of living a cashless life has been so far?
Do you believe that Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) will become widely adopted in the future? Why or why not?
What are some potential advantages of using CBDCs over traditional payment methods like cash or credit cards?
How do you think purpose-bound money could simplify consumers' lives and improve payment processes?
What are some potential use cases for CBDCs that have not yet been explored by entrepreneurs in the fintech industry?
How can CBDCs help drive financial inclusion, especially in countries with large unbanked populations?
What role do you think consumer behavior and payment networks play in the adoption of CBDCs?
How might the integration of distributed ledger technology (DLT) or other cryptographic methods impact the success of CBDCs?
What are some potential challenges that central banks and governments may face in implementing CBDCs?
How can network analysis and modeling of consumer behavior help guide the successful adoption of CBDCs?

The Expert
Kimmo Soramäki is a leading expert in financial networks and simulation technology. He is dedicated to making the financial system safer and more efficient, with a specific focus on central banks and global banks. His expertise lies in advising on subjects including Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) to financial institutions, including central banks. Previously, the main focus of conversation around CBDC was retail use, but Soramäki highlights three key developments since then. Firstly, CBDCs are not limited to blockchain technology, but could also utilize other cryptographic methods or tokens on chip cards. Secondly, there is now a growing conversation around the tokenization of bank deposits and how CBDCs can be used between banks. This has led to various pilot projects exploring domestic and cross-border use cases. Lastly, while some CBDCs have been launched, they have not gained widespread adoption, prompting the need to identify specific use cases and mechanisms to incentivize public adoption. Soramäki's expertise and contribution in this field are invaluable to shaping the future of CBDCs.
