Andrew Haldane said one solution would be for the Bank of England to issue a state-backed digital currency based on bitcoin. Supporting this initiative would be a negative interest rate levied on paper currency relative to the digital currency, with these measures do you think there is more possibilities that sometime:
Paper money will be banned entirely?
How long do you think that happens?
would it work?
What security and privacy risks would it raise?
And how would public and privately issued monies interact?
There's a lot of discussion about this on these forums (and a lot of disagreement that comes with it), so i think it's clear that all can be made are assumptions, that being said, here are mine
Paper money will never be banned, so i don't think there's a timescale for it to be wiped out, however i'm sure that an online currency would work perfectly well once it is more stable than it currently is, the security risk is that every single thing you do, buy or sell will be recorded
