South Korea’s central bank has published a new working paper analyzing a dual-currency regime by pitting cryptocurrencies against traditional fiat currencies. Fiat currencies have been historically known to decrease continuously, the authors confirm, due to inflation and the factor of new money pumped in to the supply by the central bank, also known as quantitative easing. Bitcoin, in stark contrast, has a fixed supply which would imply a “deflationary bias”, the authors note. However, security or trust issues – the decentralization of digital currency and the absence of insurance provided by governmental authorities – may prevent digital currency from being used as a store of value. Instead, digital currency may be used as a medium of exchange dominantly.

@mynhpark ,i think digital exchange will be dominant in the near future. but not now maybe. because not all countries will see these as to what south korea have seen it. but there will always be a room for adaptation. if central banks of the world will really research for this and find something more beneficial from this, then maybe that is the time that digital currency will be dominant.
