I wanted to actually go in and see it with my own eyes. Sometimes twitter is uncharitable. I wanted to see it for myself. And it's really there. It really does talk about extending Metrolink to Manchester Airport. Metrolink to Manchester Airport opened in 2014.

Interesting point from Anikó Szombati (Central Bank of Hungary) for digital money, we must distinguish between "transaction-type cash" vs. "accumulation-type cash". Not quite sure if this is architectural or end-use, but highlights difficulties for *what kind of* CBDC design #DMI

With common issues from these CBDCs around trust, risk, AML/KYC. Not yet a much of a settled view of *how* digital money users might actually practically use, or make sense of its functionality

Attending a 2 day conference on CBDCs (2023 DMI Symposium) with 2000+ registered attendees. Quite a lot of national central banks present - things seems to be moving fast in this space

sensing quite a heavy push from UK gov to progress CBDCs "we are getting closer to that point", with a surprisingly open attitude to private currencies/ crypto (opening keynote: Andrew Griffith, Economic Secretary, UK Treasury)

Great to see more shadow programme committee activities building future research community leaders. INTERACT conference interact2023.org looks a good opportunity for PhDs, PostDocs and early career researchers. Apply forms.gle/Jiy7L1eXCkfU7uiVA by 20 Feb'23. #HCI

Not heard it framed like this before, but I this is neat and guts a chunk of industry and academic rhetoric: "‘financial inclusion’, a euphemistic phrase referring to efforts to onboard people into the commercial banking sector, and to make them dependent on bank credit"
