BoE on the non-cost advantage of digital currencies

TL;DR of paper 1:

    -decentralised ledger is a major innovation in the field of transactions, the last being double-entry bookkeeping in C16.
    -decentralised ledgers eliminate credit risk, liquidity risk and operational risk.
    -Thus they are more efficient and more robust.
    -As with money held as bank deposits, most financial assets today exist as purely digital records. This opens up the possibility for distributed ledgers to transform the financial system more generally. (e.g. coloured coins).
