This will be very strong news for the world community. Crypto-currencies will gain high popularity and there will again be a rise in price. I think that many countries will follow this example.

Do you think that it will affect to other cryptocurrency price like bitcoin or maybe other altcoin? I dont think so.
Because at the first he said that tje united kingdom bank central launch this technology to prevent their citizens fall into bitcoin volatility. It mean the technology will get controlled by central bank. Sorry if i mistaken.

If any entity wants to be able to control the price then they need to be able to control the demand or the supply in some way. They said they want lower volatility and so they'll need influence of the price. The easiest way to do this is to have a direct control over supply like with traditional currencies.

That's a good move and a very good example of what UK is planning. I hope that countries around the world will reflect on this event and that somehow will embrace the cryptocurrency for good.

yes, I agree with you. the crypto world will get bigger in the eyes of the world, and it seems fiat will weaken, unless the fiat should be able to maintain its reputation in the eyes of the world. and compete with crypto.

According to The Telegraph, the Bank of England could release a digital currency as early as 2018 that would be linked to the sterling. With this new virtual currency, the Bank of England would allow British citizens to keep their money in digital form with the central bank itself and to process big transactions in nanoseconds..

The possibility of issuing a national virtual currency has been in the bank’s plans for a long time. The bank aims to provide United Kingdom’s citizens with a virtual currency without the volatility of Bitcoin..

For Mr. Carney, the “most interesting application that would be beneficial for financial stability and efficiency”, would be using blockchain technology for settlements between different central banks. This test has demonstrated the viability and advantages of making payments between two central banks with blockchain technology..

Different countries and central banks are analysing the possibility of issuing virtual currencies. As we have reported, the Canadian Central Bank was studying this possibility with specialists in the field..

While I hope that this is true, being a UK citizen I cannot foresee our government being so progressive, we are not normally at the forefront of any kind of new standards such as this and I don't see that changing with this one.

This is good to know that some countries are now startinh to adopt digital currencies which I also thinks will help to market bitcoins and all other alts but somehow I feel worried about the idea that if a a certain coutries will be having their own national crypto currencies chances are bitcoin will be restricted unless declaration of bitcoin as a global currency will be made

State issued digital currencies won't do anything for our current crypto market. Governments just try to upgrade their current ancient financial system in the hope that people will choose them over our crypto currencies. It however won't happen. State issued digital currencies are more centralized than ever before, and they are still subject to all the negative aspects of this on debt based system. The only thing people gain from it is that they enjoy a higher level of convenience, but they pay a much higher price for it than ever before. Definitely not something I am looking forward to, and neither should others do. People should understand the danger of these state issued currencies, because it gives the government more control over your wealth than ever before.

I do think it'll have an effect, none of us which know the truth will be deceived by this, but believe me 99% of the world doesn't know how money really works so they'll be deceived and will use these coins as if they're part of this movement of money issued privately when they'll still be part of the fiat system, so coins like these have the chance of slowing down bitcoin and its adoption.

With this i think the bitcoin protestants are gradually and systematically joining the cryptocurrency world. Whether they do this through the back door and front door, the truth remains that crypto has come to stay.

This is bad news, they're creating their own cryptocurrency and are going to promote its usage and since they've control of all the money and the media people are going to begin to use these fake coins, however, those coins will still have the same problems as their issued currencies, so bitcoin still has the chance to get more adopters but now it'll need to beat all the forms of their money they decide to print.

It will be interesting to see where crypto currencies go with countries and governments starting to create their own form of block chain. Personally I cant see any real benefits from banks adopting their own tokens as they will not be any real difference between them and fiat in a digital form.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Quote from: franky1 on January 03, 2018, 04:43:17 PM

you defense is that it cost you only $20 in fee's... but..... you still had to wait hours, and at laggy times even longer.

i think you need to re-assess yourself if you think that even $20 is acceptable.
imagine if you bought something in a shop. and the retailer said thats $10.. you hand them a $100 and they say they will give you back $70 in 2-5 hours.

wake up. the dev's behind core have lost all recognition of what bitcoins 2009-2014 ethos was, they are sellouts and have done stupid crap to ruin bitcoin not make it better

and the only rebuttal i ever here is "but the price is rising so good investment, never use it to buy things just hodl" (facepalm)

anyway, on topic
the UK banking system ALREADY for decades now has a banking system that lets people wire transfer funds instantly FOR FREE.. its called "faster payments" only a few lazy second rate banks put a un-needed delay/fee's on wire transfers

Right now I'd only have to wait 15 min to get a confirmation with that fee. We all know what's been happening for the last 2 weeks and that fees went up by 300% on the average because people kept trying to get into the first block like idiots.

I never said that BTC has to be a cheap currency for the masses. Do you really believe people will be using it for buying $10 stuff? I really doubt that even if the fees go back to what they used to be a year a year or 2 ago (1-2$ per transaction) it still will not be worth it. Are $2 fees acceptable? Do you know that some stores don't allow you to pay with a card for cheap stuff because there are fees they have to pay? I agree that $20 fees are too high but they aren't going to stay like this for long.

If the news are real it would light a green light for every other crypto currency and if UK adopts a thing than the other nations will follow it as dominoes. I hope it happens than we can see the real price of coins.

what will happen is new regulation that only BANKS can create cryptos and any other non bank will get done for counterfeiting and such.

plus it will be smartcontracts, like lightning where people deposit funds into a smart contract so the counterparty has dual control of th funds. thus its not going to be permissionless.. many numbskulls dont realise that lightning IS banking due to smart contracts with a hub/counterparty control

lastly because banks will have access to the funds its not that much different in regards to customer 'ownership' of funds than traditional banking systems.. the only real benefit is to the banks by not needing as much security/auditing personnel.. i see little to no benefit for bank customers for a bank using crypto.

in short. getting excited that a bank makes their own crypto is the opposite to a revolution.
but hey, all im ever gonna read is people shouting "this will cause price rise due to a media coverage and speculation"

I'm not a UK citizen but what are the current fees for money transfers inside the country? In my country such transactions are almost free (and 100% free if both parties are using the same bank). I'm sure that it is almost the same in the UK. The only possible advantage of such crypto is a better speed / lower fees international transfers but there is not much about it in the article and the other banks should accept it to make it liquid.

I wonder what type of coin they will be using. But, why do these informations are not reported in the news of our country? I am lucky to have read these types of events, thanks.

I take back everything I ever said about fat cat bankers now I have come across Bitcoin miners
charging me $80 last week in fees and I was not even buying a car or a house.

I have no idea why you're paying that much. It has to be voluntary commitment because I'm paying 0.000005/b the whole time and it takes maybe 2 hours to confirm. A week ago it was laggy and I had waited much longer, but we're talking about $20 per transaction, compared to your $80 Cheesy

Maybe you just like tipping them or don't know how to manually adjust the fees and prefer the system to do it for you? Usually being lazy turns out to be costly.

you defense is that it cost you only $20 in fee's... but..... you still had to wait hours, and at laggy times even longer.

So they are just planning to "digitalize" the sterling. In another word, create a digital sterling and name it a cryptocurrency because it will use the blockchain technology. How it's going to be different?

Same money, same centralized sterling, same problems.

It isn't going to be different but the sheep and the masses will flock to this like it is a money maker and like they trust it with all their heart. Poor souls going to fall for centralization scam again...

If it gets more people used to digital currency it could be a good thing I'm not sure how it can be any different from the digital fiat money we currently use though.
