​The economics of digital currencies (160KB)By Robleh Ali, John Barrdear, Roger Clews and James Southgate It argues that while digital currencies could, in theory, serve as money for anybody with an internet-enabled device, at present they serve the roles of money only to a limited extent and only for relatively few people: it is estimated that as few as 20,000 people in the United Kingdom currently hold any bitcoins, and that as few as 300 transactions may be conducted by those people per day.At a microeconomic level, a key attraction of some digital currency schemes at present is their low transaction fees.But the incentives embedded in the current design of digital currencies mean that these fees may eventually need to rise significantly, as usage grows.At a macroeconomic level, most digital currencies, as currently designed, incorporate a predetermined path towards a fixed eventual supply – a feature which, in a purely hypothetical scenario in which the digital currency were used as the predominant form of money, would likely cause greater volatility in prices and real activity due to the inability of the money supply to vary in response to aggregate demand.
