Fisher Investments' Ken Fisher Shares His Thoughts on Central Bank Digital Currency Concerns

Fisher Investments’ founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer Ken Fisher shares his thoughts on the possibility of central banks creating digital currencies. Ken says some of the fears surrounding central bank digital currencies—such as the government using digital currency to spy on citizens—are misguided and that a digital currency is simply the next phase in the evolution of money. Ken points out that the US government can already access a person’s information and bank transactions if it wants, but they have no reason to in most instances. He also thinks any potential central bank digital currency will be elective, similar to every previous evolution of money, and not forced on people that don’t want to use it. Overall, Ken believes technology has made money easier to use—an economic positive—and shouldn’t pose any broad issues for society.
