The former Canadian prime minister further stressed stating that he is not an expert when it comes to cryptocurrencies but said it is difficult to see how they run as a store of value, something pretty critical for a digital currency.
Except if the U.S. turns into a catastrophe, it’s difficult to perceive what the option is to the U.S. dollar as the world’s significant hold money. Other than you know gold, bitcoin, … an entire crate of things, said Harper. I think you’ll see that the number of things that individuals use as stores will grow, however, the U.S. dollar will even now be its greater part, he added.
The ex-conservative prime minister clarified that each cash has three purposes; as a medium of trade, as a store of significant worth, and as a unit of record. He recognized digital currency is absolutely a medium of trade and can be a unit of account, yet it is hard to perceive how bitcoin can go about as a store of significant worth.
Harper likewise tended to the pattern for central banks to think about the dispatch of their digital monetary forms. Eventually, on the off chance that you have digital cash and the reason for the central bank is to control inflation and value stability and make steady money.
