“Bitcoin is not money”, the European Central Bank published a statement regarding bitcoin as not being a monetary asset. These words from the bank are immensely harsh for the crypto community. The crypto analyst and investor, Joseph Young suggests that the bank has released the statement as per the crypto assets being unprintable. Though this is an absurd manner to qualify a monetary asset as ‘money’, the bank does praise the technology in the working behind bitcoin. The technology, being the entire crypto protocols, most specifically, decentralization is breakthrough and can make up for some decent projects in the future. He said;

The European Central Bank does not consider Bitcoin as ‘money’ for some specific reason. The reason that they cannot print more of bitcoin on their own is the one, I’m afraid.

Young was very elaborate, chatting with BlockPublisher, over why ECB is hesitant in declaring bitcoin a form of money. On the other hand the ECB suggests that the technology behind the cryptos, more specifically, bitcoin sure is awe-inspiring. The bank, in another statement describes that they bear the privileges to create more money. Young tends to pile up the facts and declare that the bank declared bitcoin, “not money”, owing to the very situation. This can be directly related to the bank suggesting that they cannot make more bitcoins and thus, the standards of being a currency or money do not fit at all.

The duel between the banking system and the digital assets have always been going strong since day one. This is a direct hint to the later one eventually toppling the previous one. Anthony Pompliano, the founder and partner at Morgan Creek Digital is sure that the day is near when people will see bitcoin entirely incorporated into the system. This will obviously be because of the upper hand that the cryptos have over the fiat system. Pomp suggests that the banking system has turned archaic. The sloppy manual system now needs to be taken over by the more established and 24/7 framework of bitcoin. He said;

The sloppy unsafe infrastructure of the banking system is the primary reason Bitcoin needs to take over.

The Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) has never bothered to pay real heed to the cryptos owing to the reality that the crypto market is indeed full of scammers and fraudulent agents. The recent scam of BitConnect is a terrible addition to the crypto history. BitConnect reached a market cap of $3 billion but collapsed due to false claim of their intelligent algorithm. They claimed that their algorithm buys bitcoin when the price is low and sell it for higher price but they were very hesitant to talk about it because there was no such thing. These sort of incidents has always sidelined the cryptos to become a part of the global financial system.

The debate, that the banking system and the crypto industry cannot co-exist has been blowing the roof up recently with frequent verbal assaults from both sides. In reality, the crypto framework can work as an improvement for the current financial system which is the thing, analysts and enforcers from both side should get their heads around. This can be pulled off by the likes of bitcoin ATMs, which have been operating successfully in many states of US, London and Australia. The crypto mask can provide the additional security protocols while the banking system pros will work as usual.
