With the President of the European Central Bank due to answer video question about digital currencies and Blockchain in February, the institution has stated that they are welcoming only questions from Europeans between the ages of 16 and 35, as a way of connecting with the youth of the continent over an ever-growing important issue.
\r\nThree topics that are to be discussed during the session are the possibilities of an economic crisis on a global scale, youth unemployment and the current economic recovery in Europe, as well as all things cryptocurrency and Blockchain. The video question and answer session is part of the third Youth Dialogue from the European Central Bank, with a Twitter opinion poll being issued in advance asking whether Bitcoin could be a viable future alternative to traditional currencies.
\r\nBanking and Government institutions have started to speak about digital currencies in a way that could soon lead to the adoption of them within traditional markets and regulated frameworks, though whether this is actually possible remains to be seen.
\r\n2017 was a year in which cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, gained in popularity and started to become a part of the public consciousness and conversation. Despite this, it is still in an embryonic state, with minimal widespread use across Europe for every-day payments.
