Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank stated on Bloomberg Finance, November 27, 2021, “Cryptocurrencies are not currencies. End of story!” U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he does not intend to ban cryptocurrencies, although he stated last July that “one of the stronger arguments for the U.S. central bank to set up a digital currency is that it could undercut the need for private alternatives such as cryptocurrencies and stablecoins”. These two statements sound contradictory. Are the banks being forthcoming, or are they not?

Today, consumers can buy anything with a crypto debit card. Does this qualify them as currency? These cards are preloaded with the cryptocurrency of your choice. While you spend crypto, the retailer receives fiat money as payment. And the options to spend cryptocurrency as currency are growing. Where can the average citizen go to get the full story?
