The article below was written by Greg Thomson, a cryptocurrency and blockchain journalist with a passion for unearthing the rarest stories from within the crypto landscape. Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, he is fascinated by cryptocurrency’s potential to reshape the world, and excited by the friction it causes as it rubs up against the current financial establishment. It was published to cointelegraph.com on April 15, 2021.

 

It is typical for government authorities to take a stance against cryptocurrencies especially when the FIAT Currencies they print hold little to no value.

 

Like all FIAT Currencies, the South Korean Won is not backed by anything except the promise of the South Korean Government.

 

I got into cryptocurrencies in mid-March 2017, and a few weeks later, I read the following article that gave me hope about the future of Bitcoin:

 

Bitcoin to Be Accepted at 260,000 Stores in Japan by This Summer

 

The above article was written on April 5, 2017, and it was the forward-thinking private sector of the Japanese economy telling the government what they wanted.

 

Since that time, giants in the financial industry like VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, and others have accepted cryptocurrencies as forms of payment.

 

Banks and financial institutions now have Bitcoin on their balance sheets.

 

We as private citizens can buy Bitcoin ETFs!

 

Why is there still a disconnect between cryptocurrencies and government officials?

 

Most government financial officials take their lead from the Central Bank in their country, and most central banks are not controlled by the government and are private entities.

 

The Federal Reserve is the Central Bank of the United States and has the interest of the owners of the Federal Reserve over the interest of the country.

 

Without your money, banks and the Federal Reserve will be out of business, and cryptocurrencies are a vehicle for you to take back control of your money.

 

Coinbase being on the NASDAQ sends mixed feelings about cryptocurrencies to Federal Regulators.

 

As a company whose business is the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies; it represents something that government regulators had to approve even though they have mixed feelings about cryptocurrencies.

 

As always, conduct your own due diligence so that you make an educated decision instead of one based on emotions.

Finance officials pour cold water on cryptocurrency amid Coinbase celebrations.

Economic gatekeepers are rounding on cryptocurrency as media attention intensifies amid the Bitcoin boom and Coinbase listing.

Finance officials from both sides of the globe are taking the opportunity to criticize the value and utility of cryptocurrencies as media focus intensifies on the space following Coinbase’s direct listing on the Nasdaq.

Bank of Korea Governor Lee Ju-yeol said cryptocurrencies had “considerable limitations” as a method of payment, following a monetary policy meeting on Thursday, reports local outlet KBS World.

While asserting that it was difficult to accurately value cryptocurrencies due to their volatile price fluctuations, Lee said the BOK had not shifted on its stance that they had no intrinsic value.

Lee also referenced United States Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, noting that the head of the Fed shared his sentiments on the crypto space.

Hours earlier, Powell stated in a virtual interview with The Economic Club of New York that cryptocurrencies were purely speculative, adding that they had not been readily adopted as a means of payment.

“They’re really vehicles for speculation. They’re not really being actively used as payments,” Powell said, according to CNBC.

Flying in the face of Powell and Lee’s comments is the recent adoption of cryptocurrency by major global payment processors. Visa, Mastercard and PayPal all began to implement crypto payment options in the past few months, while Tesla introduced Bitcoin (BTC) as a payment option for its electric car business.

That’s not to say Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are a sure thing as far as payment methods go. Bitcoin’s average transaction fee is currently around $30 due to its limited block size and resultant network congestion. For this reason, payment processors are often forced to eat such transaction fees as a cost of doing business until they can no longer afford to, as was the case with gaming platform Steam in 2017.

One point of agreement shared by Powell and the crypto community is the suggestion that cryptocurrency could be compared to gold — but for completely different reasons. Cryptocurrency (particularly Bitcoin) proponents argue that the technology can be used as a long-term store of value in the same manner as a precious metal.

Powell, however, intended the comparison to be derisory. The Fed chairman’s opinion of gold seems to be no better than that of cryptocurrency.

“For thousands of years, human beings have given gold a special value that it doesn’t have,” said the chairman of the fiat-printing center of the United States.
