AI has been grabbing all the tech headlines, but cryptocurrency is still innovating and changing.

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a new type of cryptocurrency that is created and governed by nation states, which comes with serious implications for privacy and global economics. Thankfully I've got cryptocurrency expert Seth for Privacy on the show to explain how CBDC works and how it will affect us.
