Amnon Samid is CEO of BitMint, a company that has been pioneering “quantum-safe” mobile payments and digital money. Samid has been researching central-bank digital currencies (CBDCs) for many years and believes most of these projects are on the wrong track.Why? Mainly because they rely on blockchain or distributed-ledger tech (DLT), which Samid says will soon be cryptographically compromised by the power of quantum computers. The rapid developments in artificial intelligence pose another threat.Samid is a passionate advocate for central banks to secure digital cash as token- or value-based digital representations, instead of designing systems that rely on traditional accounts as used by the commercial banking system.Timecodes:
