Why central banks want to launch digital currencies | CNBC Reports

Interest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may be surging, but central banks don’t want to be left behind by financial innovation. In fact, more than 80% are examining how to launch digital versions of their own currencies. CNBC’s Joumanna Bercetche takes a look at why these cautious institutions may soon be launching a revolution in how we think about money.

    I want no part of this, and if anyone else is smart they will tell them to stick it where the sun does not shine.

  2. @riffmondo9733 on March 6, 2025 at 2:45 pm

    This is to track and control bank accounts.

    No one wants this except the elites.

  3. @barryshaw5660 on March 6, 2025 at 2:45 pm

    It only takes two words total control to explain digital currencies

  4. @Jesusandbible on March 6, 2025 at 2:48 pm

    If cash goes all digital all your money can be confiscated if you dont meet their social credit score, and be a total minion to the state. In other words a slave.

  5. @Frank-uy9in on March 6, 2025 at 2:48 pm

    NO!

  6. @LivingLifeAfterDeath on March 6, 2025 at 2:48 pm

    First they ditch the gold standard, now they want to ditch cash..Cash is a great way for saving..l only use cash because spending on the card causes irresponsible spending..keep cash as an alternative..

    Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I have a quick question: My bybit wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (tag suit turtle raccoon orange fever main skull special hungry crystal mixture). What’s the best way to send them to Binance?

  8. @ronstrahl4763 on March 6, 2025 at 2:49 pm

    But CBDCs still need fintechs or commercial banks to circulate the money? Right. Otherwise the whole financial system will die. Leaving CBDCs with nothing less than just servers. It would be like central banks shot their own legs

  11. @FlakoLetters on March 6, 2025 at 2:53 pm

    I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

    1-26-2025 President Trump Has Signed an Executive Order Prohibiting Federal Agencies From Pursuing or Endorsing Central Bank Digital Currency

  13. @jagadhariseno on March 6, 2025 at 2:57 pm

    Now, bank printing money more faster 🤣

  14. @jayak3768 on March 6, 2025 at 2:58 pm

    So control the behavior of people, what money can be used for or not or to completely Lock out and block certain people you don’t like.

  15. @Arjuna86004 on March 6, 2025 at 2:59 pm

    Fail. Mentions nothing about the dangers of centralized control!

  16. @FromTheMosh on March 6, 2025 at 3:02 pm

    Yes lets follow china, great idea…….
    Interesting how this video has so many views and all the other videos showing what CBDCs really are have been restricted on YouTube.

  17. @ronstrahl4763 on March 6, 2025 at 3:02 pm

    We had .money all these years an hour shoveling it down our throats

  18. @chris.asi_romeo on March 6, 2025 at 3:03 pm

    Simple answer
    – TO CONTROL US MORE EASILY –

  21. @edwardarruda7215 on March 6, 2025 at 3:05 pm

    The central banks will do anything in their power to con the people into CBDC like more bank failures.

    As usual, CNBC doesn’t give full story. Didn’t hear anything about the TOTAL control of your life…just a small 😢

  25. @ro6742 on March 6, 2025 at 3:12 pm

    *John Spartan, you have been fined one credit for violation of the verbal parameters statute.*

    Do you all GET it yet? 🙄

  26. @JohnUSA7 on March 6, 2025 at 3:13 pm

    All Americans MUST fight the horrible and devastating digital currency in our USA.
    This is a terrible idea by the Democrats and this very poor and devastating Administration.
    This Administration has the power to send us Americans to the poor house.
    We all must fight this totalitarian upcoming new policy.
    This is an extremely bad and destructive new rule.
    Only Joe Biden and his comrades like it.
    It is about government total control on our hard earned money.

  27. @jrwdeere5416 on March 6, 2025 at 3:15 pm

    You can still lose where ever there’s money somebody wants to get there hands on it

  28. @draterlarebil4506 on March 6, 2025 at 3:19 pm

    CBDC ‘s are the last gasp of the central banks.
    Imagine a world where 3rd world countries aren’t ripped off by the fed banks.

  29. @GoForwardPs34 on March 6, 2025 at 3:20 pm

    I am still confused. Dont understand this

    Here in Texas we are not complying ….we will soon issue our own currency backed by gold and silver…you take your cbdc and stick up your a$$

  35. @dfoxmaster on March 6, 2025 at 3:27 pm

    AT LAST! A video about CBDCs with the commenting feature NOT turned off. Funny how so many video presentations try to paint an optimistic picture about CBDCs and talk about ‘inclusion’ and the importance of discussions, only to see comments have been turned off. Kind of tells you everything you need to know. Comments here are encouraging.

  36. @sanvo3864 on March 6, 2025 at 3:28 pm

    PAY CASH ONLY

  38. @seeunt9 on March 6, 2025 at 3:30 pm

    Fantastic overview of altcoins. Which one do you think has the most potential?

  39. @rafaelvillamor9702 on March 6, 2025 at 3:33 pm

    They want to establish CBDC because they want to impliment the SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM. And that SCS is designed to LIMIT the CONSUMPTION BEHAVIOR of The PUBLIC. They will limit your FOSSIL FUEL PURCHASE, RED MEAT CONSUMPTION, and they will also limit your TRAVELLING. Thats their agenda!!!

  40. @69Jargon on March 6, 2025 at 3:33 pm

    Do not comply

  41. @NollyPelobueno-zw6ul on March 6, 2025 at 3:34 pm

    Digital money limited all individuals holder.

  42. @ronstrahl4763 on March 6, 2025 at 3:34 pm

    Government should stand back ask us people what we want government is lieing to us say no no no

  43. @subramaniansivasubramanian8527 on March 6, 2025 at 3:37 pm

    Digital Euro is not a solution to Cryptocurrency. Its just another mode of payment. Cryptocurrency basic idea is to avoid a centralized system and dominance. Cryptocurrency is already used across the globe which inturn inflates the Economy. Every Fiat Currency gets affected by Cryptocurrency. Simply put, Businessmen will decide the banking system.

  44. @unitynofear7758 on March 6, 2025 at 3:38 pm

    Reasons:
    1. Total pinpoint control
    2. Social score integration
    3. Surveillance and tracking
    4. Absolute dependence on the decisionmakers for survival

  45. @bobteo813 on March 6, 2025 at 3:39 pm

    CBDC can shove it up you know where. They are going to make it trendy for the stupid young people we have today to gain popularity.

  46. @wanderingfido on March 6, 2025 at 3:39 pm

    Each corporation is going to invent their own crapcoin. Then we each would have to use an app to keep track of the insanity. And of course, none of it would be for free.

  47. @malcolmwatts2487 on March 6, 2025 at 3:40 pm

    100 years ago £1 was a gold sovereign & anything less was made of silver, only pennies and less were of copper, people then were not foolish, sterling coinage was the real thing unlike today’s fiat cash which is all base metals and plastic notes. This fiat cash is all based on trust only it’s really has no constitutional value. If you thought that is bad CBDC tokens are likely worse meaning nothing bought & sold is private or anonymous anymore every transaction is logged/recorded. Taxman will love it.
    If something goes wrong like a war, disaster etc suddenly you could be sitting there with every penny lost, no matter what you got in the bank you may not have any access to it and you can’t just run to your bank to withdraw CBDC & all those fiat plastic banknotes and coins are worthless anyway. If you got no gold and or silver where is your buying power or assets ?

  48. @ferdinandhelbing3351 on March 6, 2025 at 3:40 pm

    It starts why a BIG LIE. The Bank of England was a PRIVATE BANK. Nothing about Central Banking is really public.

  49. @ianhawtin4756 on March 6, 2025 at 3:40 pm

    They want to control the money our money as if they haven’t got enough already

  50. @Hazmatt3446 on March 6, 2025 at 3:41 pm

    Stop financing wars, which don’t need to happen in order to aggrandize your central banks… And maybe people will start to trust you
