I heard this news yesterday. It's quite logical, faced with the possibility of the pound going bust or the UK government taking capital restraint measures, people buy what they can't confiscate. Although I would like to know what percentage of those who are buying Bitcoin are keeping their private keys. I'll bet something that there is a not small percentage who leave the Bitcoin in centralized entities.
It looks like she's gotten sidelined from her first view on crypto currencies now. Is there a plan to resuscitate the pound or will be Bitcoin be later considered?
She will be thinking of a plan to re-strengthen the pound somehow, the UK government is not even going to remotely consider giving Bitcoin legal tender status if that's what you mean, because they can't control it.
