The podcast Digitalgelddickicht is dedicated to the social and political aspects of the financial sector’s digital transformation. As part of the discourse project eFin & Democracy», the podcast explores topics from the field of digital money and payment. Issues otherwise only discussed among experts are intended to become more accessible to a broader public.
The podcast does not have all the answers – and it certainly doesn’t have any financial tips. Instead, it wants to pose questions and invite public discussion about how the digital transformation of the financial sector also affects political and social interaction. To this end, it collects different voices, including but not limited to those of experts.
The episodes and talks are exclusively in German, unless otherwise indicated.
Current Episode
2.2. Digital Tipping
Tipping is often treated as casually as it is paid. What exactly tipping is cannot even be defined by a precise legal term, but is more akin to a “moral agreement”, as historian Winfried Speitkamp describes it. However, tipping is anything but a trivial matter: 10 percent on every “tipable” transaction, this adds up to astonishing sums – more than 2 billion euros per year in German restaurants alone – which are hardly regulated in Germany and, above all, do not have to be taxed.
In the digital context, the nature of the incidental, almost hidden micropayment has shifted. Will digital technologies give momentum to tipping or its decline? We explore this question in the second episode of our series on micropayments.
