 Lyn, if the topic of Canadian CBDCs comes up during the discussion/Q&A, request you ask a policy question: whether the appropriate constraints (privacy-preserving or anti-authoritarian) the government will, or should, place on itself so as to not completely abuse the power of  controlling its people's money and transaction ability?  I'd reference China's behavior with its CBDC and the illegal actions of the Canadian government to freeze bank accounts during the Canadian Trucker protest. In a short time we've already seen fairly damning evidence that government needs constraints in terms of controlling money, if it claims liberty as a value. Also, thank you for your book and all your writings. It's wonderful.
