Кажете на централните банкери Bitcoin Инвестицията с висок риск, лошото съхранение на стойност, може да се срине
Two central bank governors have shared their opinions about bitcoin after the cryptocurrency became legal tender in El Salvador. The governor of the Bank of Mexico sees bitcoin as a high-risk investment and a poor store of value while the governor of Sweden’s central bank, the Riksbank, believes bitcoin може да се срине.
Central Bankers Continue to Warn About Bitcoin
The governors of the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) and Sweden’s central bank, the Riksbank, have shared their views on bitcoin after the cryptocurrency became законно платежно средство в Салвадор.
Bank of Mexico Governor Alejandro Diaz de Leon said Thursday that bitcoin is more like a means of barter than fiat money, Reuters reported, adding that he called the cryptocurrency “a high-risk investment and a poor store of value.” The Banxico governor is an economist; he was appointed by Mexico’s president to serve as governor of the central bank until Dec. 31. He was quoted as saying:
Който получава bitcoin in exchange for a good or service, we believe that is more akin to bartering because that person is exchanging a good for a good, but not really money for a good.
“In our times, money has evolved to be fiat money issued by central banks. Bitcoin is more like a dimension of precious metals than daily legal tender,” he continued.
His comments suggest that Mexico will not be adopting bitcoin as a national currency as El Salvador did anytime soon. The Salvadoran Bitcoin Закон went into effect on Sept. 7 and BTC is now legal tender alongside the U.S. dollar.
Шефът на Bank of Mexico твърди, че за да може дадена криптовалута да се счита за пари, тя трябва да бъде надежден начин на плащане. Той обаче каза, че криптовалутите са много нестабилни, отбелязвайки, че техните стойности често се развихрят ежедневно. Губернаторът на Банксико уточни:
Хората няма да искат покупателната им способност, заплатата им да се повиши или намали с 10% от един ден в друг. Не искате тази променливост за покупателната способност. В този смисъл това не е добра защита на стойността.
Meanwhile, the governor of the Swedish central bank, Stefan Ingves, compared buying and selling bitcoin to trading stamps. Bloomberg reported Thursday that he commented on bitcoin at a banking conference in Stockholm, warning that the cryptocurrency could collapse.
Ингвес също е икономист. Преди това е бил председател на Базелския комитет и директор на отдела за парични и финансови системи към Международния валутен фонд (МВФ). Той беше цитиран като каза:
Private money usually collapses sooner or later. And sure, you can get rich by trading in bitcoin, but it’s comparable to trading in stamps.
The Riksbank governor previously said that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are unlikely to escape regulatory oversight as their popularity grows.
