threatened to undermine public trust in central banks and posed a threat to financial stability, and he signalled a global clampdown.

“If authorities do not act pre-emptively, cryptocurrencies could become more interconnected with the main financial system and become a threat to financial stability,” he said.

conversion to fiat would be difficult for those of us who need fiat for daily use or for emergency use.

what's your take on this and care to offer any possible solutions for all of us in cryptospace?

cheers....
