19、re good than harm? Eswar Prasad, a senior professor of Trade Policy at Cornell University, says in his book Kill bills, the Future of Money, it depends on central banks whether they can embrace change without losing control. He insists the end of cash likely within a decade or two is revolutionary.A

20、s for the trend that cash is declining, Mr Prasad explains that it is due to the fact that many people bank from laptops and make payments on their phones.

21、 trusted, central authority. However, banks remain dominant. Fearing this could do them out of a job, many central banks are beginning to catch up with the pace by developing their own digital currencies CBDCs, which will upgrade the financial system.Mr Prasad says they are more efficient than cash

27、olice.However, is wiping a surface enough to ensure that fingerprints cant be pulled? It is proved that even if your fingertips are not soiled by blood or dirt, they will still leave behind chemical imprints on things you touch because the sebaceous glands(皮脂腺) under our skin produce sweat and oils.
