Dear agraeb, this highly depends on the individual Blockchain network. The rules of the respective ledger determine who can become a consensus relevant node. Public proof-of-work blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum (for now) can be joined by anyone with the appropriate hardware to become a node. Both ecosystems offer a variety of network clients - usually open source - to run the node in line with the consensus protocol of the respective peer-to-peer network. For details on a specific Blockchain network or network client, we recommend consulting their respective documentation. I hope this helps - KS

Thanks for sharing this critique, Merving. We appreciate the feedback and will let it flow into the next iteration of the video. I hope you found the other lectures more insightful. Cheers, KS

Here's the other half of the story, discussing ECDH pairings, might be helpful: ruclips.net/video/8WDOpzxpnTE/видео.html

Dear Langbloch Thanks for sharing the fact on the origins of money and you're absolutely right: This video does not cover the rich history of money. This lecture covers the fundamental properties of a well functioning currency as part of the basics before diving into Bitcoin and other crypto assets. I'm sorry if you expected something different and hope you found in a little insightful nonetheless. Kind regards - KS

Dear Christian, I'm happy to hear that you found the lecture informative. Regarding your question: There's nothing that strictly forbids your high-level idea. However, I'm not sure what goal you want to achieve. Let's assume you create the My-Shop-Stable-Coin (let's call it MSSC) which users can buy against different currencies and then use as payment in your e-commerce website. What exactly is gained from users having to exchange their various currencies (presumably with you) against MSSC before being able to pay on your e-commerce website? For your users, it's an additional step. You'd still end up handling various currencies and - on top of this - you are highly likely to be subject to regulatory oversight when issuing and selling a coin against FIAT currency. I hope this helps - KS

Thank you for your kind feedback, bsuperbrain. We are working on keeping the lectures current and expanding the topics covered. Stay curious :), KS

Thanks for the feedback. We're happy to hear you liked the lecture. Further videos on more DeFi aspects - synthetic assets among them - are on our roadmap. - KS -

Thanks for your kind words - Stay curious ;) KS

Thank you for your interest Mohammed. We hope you enjoy it throughout. KS

Thank you Orhema, we're happy to hear you liked the lecture. KS

Theoretically, it would be possible to implement a CBDC on a public Blockchain. It would most likely make use of the ERC-20 token standard and implement additional restrictions, similarly to what we usually find in security token contracts. In practice, most CBDC implementations use permissioned (mostly centralized) Blockchains. The effect of a CBDC on commercial banks is one of the hottest research topics in monetary economics and macroeconomics. Some disintermediation is possible, but there is no reason to believe that commercial banks would disappear entirely. Central banks are not in the business of competing with commercial banks in terms of the services they provide. Also, CBDCs are inherently centralized, even when implemented on a public chain. For a discussion on the differentiation between CBDC and Bitcoin, see: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3194981 I hope this helps - FS
