Cryptocurrencies are too volatile to be used for payment, and investors should prepare to lose all their money, BoE governor says

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said he believes that cryptocurrencies are not a reliable method of payment, highlighting their high volatility in comments made on Monday.  "They fluctuate in value substantially," he said during a virtual conference, reported by Bloomberg. "Which is why they're, on the whole, not a good medium for making payments."
