World powers react to the Bitcoin boom

“World powers have scrambled in recent weeks to react to the rise of Bitcoin, a decentralised digital currency created in 2009.  China banned its banks from providing related services and products on Thursday.  Meanwhile, on Thursday the French central bank warned against using Bitcoin, because of its volatility and lack of regulation. However, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in its first research report formerly https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/885843-banks-research-report-on-bitcoin.html on the currency that it had the potential to become a major means of payment for ecommerce and a serious competitor to traditional payment methods.”
