In addition to supervision, Bank Indonesia also appealed to the public not to use virtual currency as a means of payment or investment tool. Because it is very risky and full of speculation because there is no authority responsible for it..
In fact, there is also no official administrator and there is no underlying asset underlying the price of virtual currency and the trade value is very volatile. Thus, its use is highly vulnerable to the risk of inflation and is prone to use as a means of money laundering and terrorism financing
Bank Indonesia as the monetary authority, the stability of the financial system and the payment system has always been committed to maintaining financial system stability, consumer protection and preventing money laundering and terrorism financing practices.
