Currency is currently not digital in the sense meant here. Otherwise the BoE and other central banks would not discuss the possibility of issuing digital currency. It's rather the banks' ledgers and transfer instructions that are digital.
In my previous comment I have only tried to explain what CBDC is. Perhaps I did not do a good job if so please feel free to provide a better explanation that would benefit everyone.
> "currency isn't digital because it's not this token
I have not written that, so I think you do not understand the topic. Here for reference to start with:
The alternative is of course that it's all meaningless hype. Just because the government does something doesn't necessarily prove it makes sense.
your clarifications were helpful
It seems that you're now saying that "BoE Currency is not digital currency." with a specific meaning of "digital currency" separate from the definition of "digital" or "currency".
You started of staying "currency is not digital", a broad statement about which I don't think there's any confusion, it's just flat-out incorrect. If it's not digital then what is it then, analogue?
Now you're talking about a particular form of digital token, which OK, maybe currency isn't that, and the usefulness of that isn't given. Saying "currency isn't digital because it's not this token" is like saying ".png files aren't digital because they're not .mp3s". It's still numbers in computers. You know, digital.
