Last week, the current governor of the Bank of England, announced that crypt currencies don’t really have a monetary value. What does that mean for investors of crypto currencies?
Needless to say, any financial news are greeted with a healthy amount of scepticism, but there could be some truth to his statement.

So, what is the future for crypto currencies? As “crypto” is still rather a new concept, it is hard to tell what the future holds.
The problem comes when you compare crypto currencies to other leading currencies in the world. The main issue is that there are no coins and notes in circulation. You could not walk down the street with a wallet full of crypto currencies.
Okay, maybe you could use your Bitcoin account to pay for coffee in some places, and even buy a house from a Russian owned real estate agency in Marbella, Spain, but you have to ask what is the true worth of the currency.
Currencies are valued in many different ways. For instance, a gold reserve is held by top countries such as the UK and the United States to prop up the value of their currencies. However, as far as we know, no creator of any of the leading crypt currencies can support the currency in gold.

As the governor said, do cryptocurrencies really exist?
