The banks better be nervous  ;D

The increasingly popular Brixton Pound is making central banks nervous — and rightly so. Following the success of the Brixton Pound, new alternative local currencies are now popping up all over the U.K. The Oxford Pound, Kingston Pound, and Palace Pound are just a few of the currencies that have been recently introduced. The Bank of England has been forced to respond to these local currencies because of their popularity, deeming them “voucher schemes” and warning the public that they are unprotected when using them.

Didn't know there was such an "altcoin" market on Britain... I agree this will only make people look at Bitcoin in a different, better way :)

I wonder how much would people use Banksy's "currency" if he had dropped all those bills he had on Britain... :D
