M'hemm ħadd kompetenti fuq Il-Bitcoin kunċett aljen għal ħafna, però li jista' jsir realtà fi s-snin li ġejjin- l-ILLUM titkellem ma' Dario Azzopardi Minn Liam Carter F'INTERVISTA mal- gazzetta ILLUM, Dario Azzopardi Kap Eżekuttiv tal- kumpanija 3Group sostna li "m'hemm ħadd kompetenti biex jitkellem dwar il- kunċett Bitcoin fl-MFSA." Azzopardi kien qiegħed jirreaġixxi għall-istqarrija li ħarġet l-MFSA l-ġimgħa l-oħra fejn wissiet lill- pubbliku ġenerali dwar il-munita diġitali. Fl-avviż l-awtorità saħqet dwar ċertu perikli li tranżazzjonijiet b'din il-munita tista' ġġib magħha bħal; serq mill-kont diġitali wara xi attentat ta' hacking, il-volatilità tal-valur li jista' jinbidel pjuttost malajr u saħansitra jonqos għal żero. Azzopardi spjega li kemm- il darba prova jitkellem ma' xi nies li jaħdmu l-MFSA fuq din il-minuta iżda dan kien kollu għalxejn hekk kif ftit li xejn sab nies fi ħdan din l-awtorità li seta' jifhmu x'inhi Bitcoin, jew kunċetti oħra bażiċi bħal 'mining'. (ara spjegazzjoni fil-kaxxa) Azzopardi kompla jisħaq fuq il-bżonn ta 'bidla fil-mentalità ta' bosta istituzzjonijiet rigward din il-munita hekk kif kompla jqabbilha ma' revoluzzjonijiet diġitali li rajna fil-passat bħal midja soċjali. Sostna wkoll li peress li huwa ma joffrix servizz finanzjarju iżda jbigħ prodott li jiġġenera finanzi għax- xerrejja tiegħu, "l-MFSA ma tistax tirregolani" It-twissija mill-MFSA fil-fatt mhix l-unika waħda tat-tip tagħha fl-Ewropa hekk kif ir- regolatur ħareġ appell għall- kawtela fuq din is-sistema Mhux hekk biss il-Bank Ċentrali tal-Belġju u l-awtorità finanzjarja fl-istess pajjiż ilhom li ħarġu twissija ċara kontra l-Bitcoin minn Jannar tal-2014. Barra minn hekk, uffiċjal tal-eżekuttiv tal-awtorità ta' sorveljanza finanzjarja (FCA) ġewwa r-Renju Unit, saħaq li 'allavolja m'aħniex qegħdin inħarsu lejn il-muniti diġitali b'lenti negattiva, xorta waħda għandna neżerċitaw kawtela kbira.' F'ribattuta lejn dawn it- twissijiet Azzopardi saħaq li huwa ovvju li l-istituzzjonijiet tradizzjonali finazjarji joħroġu b'dawn it-twissijiet għaliex hemm "il-ġid u l-professjonijiet tagħhom fin- nofs." "Il-banek għalhekk qed iħokku rashom, aħna ser inbiddlu l-mod kif naħdmu... bil-munita diġitali m'aħniex ser niġu bżonn banek." Il-Fintech, is-settur li jiġbor fih munita bħal Bitcon, kien parti mill-manifest elettorali ta' kemm il-Partit Laburista kif ukoll il-Partit Nazzjonalista. Punt 54 u punt 164 rispettivament fil-manifest jitkellmu dwar il- ħtieġa li jsir investiment f 'dan is-settur. Dan mhux biss hekk kif anke l-Prim Ministru Joseph Muscat fi Frar li għadda waqt konferenza tal-CEPS ddikjara li l-Ewropa għandha tkun l-ewwel 'kontinent tal-Bitcoin.' F'April li għadda l-kabinett approva l-ewwel strateġija ta' blockchain, Muscat iddikjara li din it-teknoloġija "għadha mhux apprezzata biżżejjed." Huwa saħaq ukoll fuq il- bżonn li "l-gżira tagħna tħares biex tadotta l-cryptocurrency minkejja t-twissijiet tar- regolaturi." Hekk kif f 'Lulju li għadda s-Segretarju Parlamentari għas-Servizzi Finanzjarji, Ekonomija Diġitali u Innovazzjoni Silvio Schembri wkoll tkellem fuq dan is- suġġett u kien sosta hekk; "Il-Gvern qed jaħdem fuq l-introduzzjoni tal-użu ta' cryptocurrency għaliex tikkumplimenta l-istrateġija tal-blockchain li se tkun imnedija fiż-żmien li ġej." "Il-banek għalhekk qed iħokku rashom, aħna ser inbiddlu l-mod kif naħdmu... bil-munita diġitali m'aħniex ser niġu bżonn banek." Dario Azzopardi
