 Do you tense up when people use terms like blockchain or distributed ledger? Are you bewildered by the idea that a single Bitcoin could be worth tens of thousands of dollars?  Would you have trouble explaining the difference between the CDC and a CBDC?  If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this session is for you.
