BVP | #028: Bitcoin & Central Bank Digital Currencies w/ Nik Bhatia

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.
