Andy Haldane, the Bank of England's Chief Economist (who is one of nine members on the BoE's Monetary Policy Commitee which sets interest rates in the UK and introduced quantitative easing after the 2008 financial crisis) did a talk at my college today. The actual talk was decent, but probably not of interest to reddit.The questions were interesting however. One person asked what he thought of cryptocurrency and his response surprised me. He said it could replace cash, he even joked about us likely having Bitcoin in our wallets. He said he didn't think it'd replace cash tomorrow, but he was quite open to the idea 20 or 30 years down the line. He was also quite familiar with cryptocurrencies and joked that there were now thousands of them.Nothing to go crazy about but I thought I'd share.
