According to Bloomberg, the president of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, is open-minded about the possibility of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in a conference speech .
Carney stressed that the adoption of a CBDC is not a counter-idea, but that the adoption of digital currencies is not a close one, he said crypto currencies are not money at the moment.
In February, last February, Carney criticized the crypto currency for a sharp dime in his speech at an event in London , saying that the crypto money has so far failed to overcome the traditional aspects of money and said, “We can not see it as a value store because it is everywhere in the world. Nobody uses it as a means of exchange. ”
