What is the future of banking, central banking and financial intermediation in the world, in which crypto-currencies are ruled? Let us discuss how such a world might look, with the proviso that no one can fully foresee how the situation in the markets will develop.
We can find hints in the speech of the head of the International Monetary Fund Christine Lagarde at the conference of the Bank of England, held in September 2017. She threw a few words that probably made the audience nervous. The head of the IMF explained that crypto-currency is not a whim, but a genuine innovation in money. The only obstacles to their widespread implementation are fully correctable technical difficulties, and they are likely to be overcome as the sector develops. In her opinion, this has serious implications for the future of financial intermediation and central banks.
She insists that the future, which draws rapidly developing blockchain-technologies, calls into question the existing financial model, and, in her opinion, this directly concerns the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve System.
The head of the IMF expressed cautiously, but behind the diplomatic form of statements her position was read: modern monetary policy can't be effective in a world where a significant part of financial flows is associated with crypto-active assets. In fact, it's still worse: it may not matter at all.
This is an amazing thing if you think about it. For more than a century, scientists, regulators, qualified financiers and high-level government officials have worked to find the ideal monetary policy for stabilizing the macroeconomic, providing liquidity for growth without inflation, and applying deeply developed methods of economic planning for this.
But the whole mechanism is based on two important conditions. First, the government should have a monopoly on money. It has been holding for more than a century. The government prints money - monitors their supply, introduces a legitimate tender and prevents the execution of contracts denominated in the unofficial currency. And secondly, most of this money should somehow be retained in the banking system. If we look at the current situation in the world of crypto-currency, we will see that both of these conditions are significantly violated, and it is logical to assume that this will create a serious problem for the banking sector and for all modern monetary policy.
It really is a completely different world. And it is not surprising that the ruling class is concerned.
Today, banks like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are actively experimenting with blockchain-technologies and crypto-active assets, and Lagarde's statement itself can foreshow the release of a new global crypto-currency. However, it is possible that for such large-scale attempts to use the power of distributed technologies, the time has already passed. The model of banking and lending to the "new world" is already revealing itself.
Christine Lagarde is right: the appearance of crypto-currencies creates serious challenges to maintaining the status-quo in the economy. In the future, the perfection of our payment and settlement technologies will be combined with the sophistication of our financial instruments.
In many respects, the economy in which the main place will be given to crypto-currencies will not be the same as our today's highly loaded, unstable and centrally regulated systems.
Unlike them, the new world will be financially healthy, stable, substantially unselfish, decentralized and democratized, since any person with any financial means can participate in it, regardless of access to financial institutions. We were just beginning to think about what a radical change it would be if our money really increased value over time (like last year's crypto-currency and the dollar at the end of the 19th century), so you actually become more wealthy, simply - not spending. Such a change would be significant not only for finance but for world culture as a whole.
