BVP | #028: Bitcoin & Central Bank Digit...

Nico Moran
About this episode

Join us today with Nik Bhatia, author of Layered Money and adjunct professor of finance at USC Marshall. Today we talk about Bhatia’s journey as a professor, his book, his 2021 Bitcoin experience, El Salvador, and the overall future of Bitcoin in our economy in relation to inflation. Bhatia’s story includes quitting being a bond trader to becoming a bitcoiner. He guides his students on how to participate in the fixed income industry, covering topics like CBDC’s - which Bhatia states, “only exist because of Bitcoin.” Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are the last grasp by central banks trying to compete with Bitcoin.
