Digital currency can put people’s privacy in danger
Since the Corona era, most people are focusing on digital transactions. In the recent past, there has been a lot of investor interest in digital currencies like bitcoin and dodgecoin etc. in the market. In such a situation, keeping in view the needs of the future, the central bank is also engaged in preparing its own digital currency. Even though this will boost economic growth, the economist has called it a threat to the privacy of the people. Ishwar Prasad, senior professor of trade policy at Cornell University, believes that if this happens, banks will monitor the currencies used for illegal use. This will track all your transactions.
Professor Prasad said that private companies and central banks can experiment with digital currencies in the future and there is a lot of potential. Individual country governments are developing their own digital currencies, which can give additional credibility to payment systems. This will also increase consumer confidence, but with the use of digital currency, banks will monitor currencies for illegal use and anything can be easily traced digitally. This can put the privacy of the people at risk. Explain that Prasad is also the author of the upcoming book “The Future of Money: How the Digital Revolution is Transforming Currencies and Finance”. He has mentioned other aspects of digital currency in his book.
