Cryptocurrency is too unstable and too difficult to regulate to be accepted as legal tender. I don't have an issue with private trade using cryptocurrency, but it should strictly be done when the trader(s) know the risk of dealing in such risky business.

No, cryptocurrencies are a scam

Yes, but the bank of England should stay out of the crytocurrency market. The price of crytocurrency should rise and fall naturally.

 @93RKK6Yanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but not yet, as crypto is not mature enough
