**Summary:**
In this video, Task talks about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and banks' stance on them. He expresses his skepticism towards CBDCs, mentioning that major central banks do not have a strong incentive to adopt them. Task highlights that commercial banks like JP Morgan are already progressing in tokenizing assets, despite regulatory uncertainties. He argues that private sector entities are more prepared than central banks for the digital future, citing examples of existing initiatives like stablecoins and interbank tokens. Task emphasizes the challenges central banks face in keeping up with advancements in the private sector and questions their readiness to introduce CBDCs.

**Detailed Article:**
Task delves into the topic of CBDCs, outlining his belief that these digital currencies are bound to fail due to lack of real necessity and the motivations behind their introduction. He starts by questioning the actual need for CBDCs, arguing that major central banks, such as the Fed, already have mechanisms in place (like reserves) that render CBDCs redundant. He suggests that the push for CBDCs mainly stems from politicians and bureaucrats who seek to control monetary policy after mismanaging fiscal policies for years.

Moreover, Task discusses the timeline for CBDC adoption by various central banks, noting the delays in decision-making. He contrasts this with the proactive approach of commercial banks like JP Morgan, which are actively pursuing asset tokenization despite regulatory ambiguity. Task points out that such initiatives by private sector entities indicate their readiness and proactive stance compared to central banks, which he criticizes for being slow in embracing technological advancements.

Furthermore, Task highlights the practical challenges that central banks would face in implementing CBDCs, such as integration with existing payment systems, ensuring security against hacking, and addressing global interoperability issues with networks like SWIFT. He underscores the complexity of transitioning to a CBDC system and emphasizes that such processes take years of preparation and testing, something that many central banks seem unprepared for.

In conclusion, Task presents a compelling argument against the rush towards CBDC adoption, cautioning that the speed and lack of foresight in implementing such a system could have detrimental effects on the international financial ecosystem. He suggests that central banks should focus on thorough preparations and align with the advancements made by the private sector to avoid potential disruptions.

The private sector thankfully runs circles around the public/government sector.

I appreciate how you keep hammering these points in.
Everyone keeps talking about CBDC but still can't answer any of these questions about how it will actually come about. "They'll figure it out soon™," does indeed seem to be the goto response.

i see the hole system differenty. politicians, bankers, fed, big corps - how good old George Carlin called them: the owners, are all in the same club. they don't do anything against each other. and for them not the money counts, but only control and power.

in the end of the day, they won't care what kind of surveillance coin, token you use, but only use those! So, I don't think they care much the different names, when it serves the same purpose. CBDC, stable coins, cryptos (within that i could name almost all of those), and of course, it takes time, but it is going to happen (5-10 maybe 50 years, who knows), if people don't move towards other directions in time.

anyway, Goldman Sachs invested (or maybe even founded, i am not sure) the USDC stablecoin years ago. 4-5-6 years ago, what is that, if not a CBDC? because not the FED issued that? it still serves the same purpose. and once again, in my opinion, they are all the same, in the club. we get the illusion of choice only.

(anyway, i am curious, what will happen with stablecoins - including HBD - when the dollar starts to go down massively, losing the world no1 currency title in all aspect...)
