Bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies in general, has been a controversial topic for a long time. There are many words for what cryptocurrencies pretend to be but are not: decentralized, safe, fair, valuable, stable, a currency, honest, a solution, the future. Much like many other central bankers, Sweden’s Central Bank governor is very skeptical about Bitcoin trading. The Sveriges Riksbank Governor’s Take On Bitcoin According to a Bloomberg article, the governor of Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, questioned the staying power of currencies without government backing. He compared buying and selling Bitcoins to trading stamps. Speaking at a banking conference in Stockholm, Sveriges Riksbank governor Stefan Ingves argued, “Private money usually collapses sooner or later,”. Further remarking, he said, “And sure, you can get rich by trading in bitcoin, but it’s comparable to trading in stamps.” Earlier this year, Ingves said that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are unlikely to escape regulatory oversight as their popularity grows.

I’m afraid they have no intrinsic value,” BTC trading above $45K | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com Around the world, central banks in countries such as China, Ghana, South Korea, Japan, and Switzerland have started researching, experimenting with, and testing the launch of Central Bank Digital Currencies.
