Bank of England analyzing Bitcoin technology for those who missed it.
"Ultimately every transaction involving a financial asset must
be recorded and most of these records are digital. The
structure of the broader financial system is similar to
payments in that these records are held by centralised third
parties. The application of decentralised technology to this
platform of digital information could have far-reaching
implications, other industries whose products were digitised
have been reshaped by new technology. The impact of the
distributed ledger on the financial industry could be much
wider than payments."
TLDR: They still think that the blockchain tech is for digital currency only.
Oh well, that means they won't be in the running to create anything innovative. ;-)
