The Monetary Authority of Singapore is joining the bandwagon of central banks commenting on cryptocurrencies

  • Advises the public to act with "extreme caution"
  • Must understand the significant risks if choosing to invest in cryptocurrencies
  • Concerned that public may be attracted to invest in cryptocurrencies after recent price escalation
  • Surge in prices of cryptocurrencies driven by speculation
  • No regulatory safeguard for investments in cryptocurrencies

The usual warning by central banks first, before the idea of taxing capital gains start coming in from government officials. Yada yada.
