The Bank of England governor, Mark Carney has rejected cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange and as an alternative currency option.

Mr. Carney said: “The prices of many cryptocurrencies have exhibited the classic hallmarks of bubbles including new paradigm justifications, broadening retail enthusiasm and extrapolative price expectations reliant in part on finding the greater fool.”
