Manx bitcoin question in Keys

Could the Isle of Man score a world first by issuing the first government cyprocurrency?

That's the question on the lips of Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse, who'll raise the issue in the House of Keys tomorrow.

In a question for written answer, he'll ask Enterprise Minister Lawrence Skelly if his department's looked into the possibility.

In particular, he wants to know if the department has researched advantages and disadvantages of being the first government to develop its own cryptocurrency.
