Mansoor Mohi-uddin, the chief economist of the Bank of Singapore, wrote a report that cryptocurrencies may one day become an electronic store of value.

Mohi-uddinren believes that as the main transaction medium of any economy, cryptocurrencies are still unlikely to replace fiat currency. But over time, they may partially replace gold by providing an electronic rather than a physical store of value.
