“I think it’s necessary for everyone to think about it as an alternative. I’m optimistic about the world, and if you want to hedge “hope,” Bitcoin is not an instrument of hope unless you hope to make a lot of money with it. . But I think it's a tool to express your financial acumen, and you rely on it more when you're scared of the world and your own existence. I believe this will create a huge industry. "
He is confident in Bitcoin’s role in investment portfolios and believes it will become an important asset class in the future.
