Bitcoin to Become an Official Currency in Australia

The two Australian legislators demand Reserve Bank of Australia to make bitcoin as an official currency.

According to the report of Sydney Morning Herald on Tuesday, the representative of assembly Liberal Senator Jane Hume and Labor Senator Sam Dastyari demand from the central bank of Australia to “embrace bitcoins as an official form of currency.” According to them, Australia should give emphasis on both cryptocurrency and blockchain.

As per the publication, Sam Dastyari said:

“This will be a revolutionary leap for the Reserve Bank and for Australian financial institutions. What we want to do here in Parliament is to create the political environment to allow that leap to occur.”-bitcoin.com
