The calm of digital money does not seem to last forever, and another official comes out to Bitcoin for a public statement.
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said on Monday that Bitcoin has been "fully justified" and can not be used as a currency of traditional standards, neither as a hedge, nor as a reliable medium for bartering.
Carney at the Regents Institute in London mentioned that "until now, it has nearly failed in the traditional sense of money, and it is not a vehicle of value because it is global and no one uses it as a medium of exchange."
However, Carney also mentioned that the blockchain technology behind this digital currency is a powerful test of decentralized financial transactions.
In January of this year, bitcoin's currency plunged to around $ 6,000 as a series of bad controls over the regulatory turmoil in various countries and dropped about 70% from the high in late December.
Cryptocurrency now seems to be gaining ground after experiencing a sharp drop in the previous quarter, according to data from CoinMarketCap, whose current offer has now risen to around $ 11,490 and other digital currencies have all picked up.
At the same event, Carney also mentioned Brexit in Britain, which Carney said both Britain and the EU are striving to reach a transitional agreement by the end of March.
'Everyone is very concerned about it (transitional agreement), which obviously will not be a legally binding hard agreement, but I can say that if 28 leaders have some legal coordination, they are also included in the Brexit agreement That's fine, part of it. '
In his speech, Carney also stressed the importance of not being driven by money, and he believes that financial professionals should focus on investment, innovation and broader social prosperity.
