Is a competitive supply of money efficient? In the second part, we will provide an introduction to some technical aspects such as public-key cryptography and blockchain technology. We will also look at applications like Bitcoin, Stablecoins, Central Bank Digital Currency and close with an outlook on Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
