Yeah but there is not a digital version, issued by the BoE. It's not a digital native so has all these layers on top.
I think a clean simple version is appealing - it's kind of the case for Bitcoin as a whole. Unfortunately they people attracted to that case did not realise that 75%+ of regulation and layers is trying to protect people from sharks.
Not only is it feasible, we've had it forever. BankOfEnglandCoin is more commonly known as the pound sterling.
