Bank of England could issue a bitcoin style currency this year.

Once a reputable organisation gets involved then it all becomes more interesting to ordinary people.

To transfer £1000 worth of Bitcoin currently costs £23.

Using Natwest I can transfer £1000 and it costs nothing. Bitcoin will never make it as a currency but it was a great ride.

£23!!! Outrageous! This surely proves bitcoin is kaput and the ride is over.

JMN2 - It also takes 3-4 hours to make the transfer. It's certainly useful for illegal activity but mainstream use? It won't happen.

I am not a chartist but looking at the 6mth graph it is like the pop upwards in December never happened and November steady rise continued instead.
