Previously, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey recently warned and offered his views on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Transfer this into a future posts podcast.
His warning came after the cryptocurrency market crash, which has lost nearly $500 billion in market capitalization this month, or about IDR 7,288 trillion. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, has fallen more than 25 percent in the past 30 days.
Although Bailey acknowledges the importance of the blockchain, the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies, Bailey is not convinced by bitcoin as a payment method. He added that the British central bank is planning its own digital currency.
“In terms of payments, I don’t think it would be crypto in the bitcoin sense of the term. I don’t think it’s really a practical way to pay,” said Bailey, quoting Bitcoin.com, written on Saturday (28/5/2022).
“What I think needs to be determined is, if we are more likely to live in a world of digital currencies than older methods of payment, what form digital currency, digital use, will be exactly. Which is the accepted standard.”
He also admits that he does not own cryptocurrencies as his investment asset. He feels that Bitcoin supporters will not like him because according to him, Bitcoin has no intrinsic value.
“It can have an extrinsic value in the sense that people want to have it. People collect all kinds of things but they have no intrinsic value,” he said.
Bailey has never been a fan of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Last month, he said, cryptocurrency created “opportunities for really criminal criminals.”
In March of last year, he said that cryptocurrencies were dangerous. Later in November, Bailey raised concerns about El Salvador’s adoption of bitcoin as legal tender alongside the US dollar.

“In Turkey and Egypt, fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrencies have coincided with the rapid depreciation of (conventional) fiat currencies, enhancing the attractiveness of cryptocurrencies to keep savings,” said Chainalysis.
Turkey leads the MENA region in terms of cryptocurrency value received so far, receiving $192 billion in cryptocurrencies in the year to late June, despite only seeing 10.5 percent growth year-over-year.
Afghanistan, which ranked 20th in Chainalysis’s adoption index last year, slipped to the bottom of the list because Taliban authorities “equated cryptocurrency with gambling,” which is forbidden in Islam.
