Bitcoin has shown the Federal Reserve how it’s done. The central bank wants to see ‘a ubiquitous system for near-real-time payments.’ End-users, the Fed points out, want real-time validation of payment and posting, assurance the payment will not be returned, timely notification, and ‘masked account details, eliminating the need for end-users to disclose bank account information to each other.’ This sounds familiar to anyone who uses Bitcoin.”
