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

3.2. Secure Money – What can blockchain do?
Blockchain is seen as a beacon of hope for secure and privacy-friendly digital payments—but how much privacy does it really offer? In this episode of Digitalgelddickicht, we take a closer look at Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DeFi, explaining how public blockchains work and why transparency is a fundamental technical principle. We show that public blockchains usually offer pseudonymity—which can often be dissolved retrospectively—look at the problems and opportunities law enforcement faces when it comes to illegal use, and discuss privacy coins, additional cryptographic solutions, and the compromises between security, regulation, and user control.
