From Bitcoin to Central Bank Digital Currencies, this course is designed to provide you with an overview of key concepts and help you understand the possible impacts arising from this new technology. We begin with a general overview of different types of currencies - past and present - then discuss different types of digital currencies and how they may evolve in the future.
