Singularity Hub reported on 1/23/’20, that 5 Central Banks, [England, Canada, Japan, Sweden & The European Central Bank ]plus the Bank of International Settlements, have banded together to research central bank digital currencies. I’ve only read, a bit, about “Bitcoin” and it’s descendants or rivals and am feeling out of touch……..surely am prompted into understanding more! A classic response happening often these days of deep “disrupters”………Some of my network says I’m not alone on this quest!!

After posting the above note I emailed a dozen or so “like thinkers”. Many have responded. The reply by one “author” is posted under “comments”

The attached list [ my poster 448] started several years ago, & was shared for discussion with client staff who were following each, or had decided not to. It’s gone way beyond obvious technology changes/possibilities. For many in the marketplace, these possibilities seem to cover an impossible set to stay up to date on ?!?!?. I actually feel a bit that way, myself,, even though I have more time now and still have a huge network. It takes careful focus and some uncomfortable decisions to skip a few…………not easy…….even if you have a big staff and/or advanced vendor connections! So…how much coverage is enough??

Years ago, soon after being elected a very young Vice President, the Chairman asked me to write, on one page or less…what the Management Information System”, was and what good it would do the organization and our customers?!?!…..well…….. I thought, we do need help if one page has to be the frame of important answers………..Of course I used a “legal” sized sheet….which annoyed him a great deal, but he accepted it, read and questioned..and we continued as one of the first in our profession!!! Actually for a number of years…… It took me many more years to really learn the power of being concise and to do it. Likely still in that quest!!
