    It’s clear that the OGs hate crypto whereas millenials and GenZs like it. That is globally, many of the OGs term Bitcoin to be scam or for criminals, especially when they are making arguments pertaining to privacy- Bitcoinmix and others.

    What do you expect from successful business men? They have their opinions and have made fortunes.

    Digital currency is crypto…I won’t be surprised that the successor of Microsoft in the future will buy into it

    Crypto is data driven. Everyone in the world ? uses data one way or the other in the digital world.

    I will not say they are wrong but the world is changing to a new era of money making. Very soon…the richest one will fade out as new ones emerges.

    they’ve got an interesting perspective on cryptocurrencies that’s worth investigating. I mean when you invest in anything, you’d expect to generate profits because the investment is providing a product or service people pay for, but what does cryptocurrencies produce? if not just volatility?

      They produce because they were used in Tesla until recently when they stop.
      Once organizations are taking it as means of exchange, then their value will be visible.
