Will the end of cash mean the end of privacy, too? The Economist’s Swarup Gupta on our digital future

In this VISION by Protiviti podcast, Swarup Gupta, financial services industry lead for The Economist Intelligence Unit, talks digital currencies and the future of cash with Joe Kornik, Editor-in-Chief of VISION by Protiviti. In the interview, Gupta discusses the future of the U.S. dollar, what currency could eventually replace it and when cash will no longer be king. “Cash was the only completely anonymous way of storing value over time in exchange. Digital payments have ended that, which has led to multiple concerns around privacy, who owns the data, who shares the data, who has rights to the data, and which authorities can gain access to which part of the data,” says Gupta.You can visit Swarup Gupta’s LinkedIn page here: www.linkedin.com/in/swarup-gupta-1aa7134/.To see more content on the future of money and other megatrends, please visit VISION by Protiviti at vision.protiviti.com and subscribe.
