Why Central Banks Are Giving Bitcoin the Cold Shoulder! 😂💸

by

Well now, gather ’round, folks, for I bring tidings from the hallowed halls of the European Central Bank, where the esteemed Christine Lagarde, a lady of no small repute, has declared with all the confidence of a rooster at dawn that Bitcoin shall not find its way into the coffers of any of the 27 central banks that make up the General Council. 🐓

“I’m confident that Bitcoins will not enter the reserves of any of the central banks of the general council,” she proclaimed, as if she were casting a spell to ward off the pesky little critters. 🧙‍♀️

Now, Lagarde, bless her heart, insists that the reserves of these banks must be “liquid,” “safe,” and “secure.” One might wonder if she’s talking about a fine whiskey or a bank’s assets! And let’s not forget her insistence that these reserves “should not be plagued by the suspicion of money laundering or other criminal activities.” Because, you know, who wants to be associated with a little ol’ thing like that? 🙄

In a curious twist of fate, Ales Michl, the governor of the central bank of the Czech Republic, had the audacity to suggest that perhaps, just perhaps, they might diversify their assets with a sprinkle of Bitcoin. But lo and behold, this idea was met with the kind of resistance usually reserved for a cat in a bathtub, as Czech Finance Minister Zbynek Stanjura raised his eyebrows and expressed concerns about the wild and woolly volatility of the leading cryptocurrency. 🐱🚿

Ah, Lagarde has long been a steadfast opponent of cryptocurrencies, previously branding this asset class as “suspicious and speculative.” It seems she views Bitcoin with the same skepticism one might reserve for a three-legged dog at a rabbit hunt. 🐶
