European Central Bank to discuss Bitcoin and Blockchain with young people

One of the three main issues that the president of the European Central Bank will answer 12 February 2018 year, is dedicated to the crypto-currencies and Blockchain. Mario Draghi will answer the selected questions: is Bitcoin the future alternative to traditional currencies, and also comment on the ECB's opinion on these technologies in general. Europeans between the ages of 16 and 35 can also ask questions on three main topics: the possibility of a new global economic crisis, crypto-currencies and blockage, the recovery of the European economy and youth unemployment. This session is part of the third "Youth Dialogue" of the European Central Bank, which is usually a series of negotiations conducted by the Bank's politicians with students and youth from different countries. Before the session, the bank launched a survey in Twitter about whether Bitcoin can offer an alternative to traditional currencies. The poll received more than 15 500 responses in about 24 hours. Central banks and crypto-currencies Although the role of central banks in the digital currency world has always been the subject of discussions, the view that they exist to ensure the stability of the economies remains. Bitcoin's volatility is often criticized, as it is a means to commit fraud, according to Lloyd Blankfein, head of the executive team of the American investment bank Goldman Sachs. Luxembourg's Minister of Finance Pierre Gramgna also suggested that the European Union could soon introduce new rules for regulating crypto-currencies.
