BITCOINIZATION

COVID-19 caused governments to print tremendous amounts of money

- leading half the world’s population to ask:- “What is Money” {given that my 401K isn’t worth much}

- This accelerated the adoption of Cryptocurrencies- this caused CB to develop their own CDBCs as a last ditch

effort to thwart the speed of decentralization

But it’s too late, the Genie is out of the bottle

February 2018 Warren Buffet’s Statement

World Government Summit Keynote on Oil

Digital currency Bitcoin may have taken a serious hit after skyrocketing towards a $20,000 value in late 2017 yet cryptocurrency experts are

predicting a bright future lies ahead.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett knows a thing or two about making bucket loads of cash, and is one of those who have doused the flames of

investors predicting big returns by claiming the world’s leading cryptocurrency is doomed to fail.

The chairman and chief executive of multi-billion-dollar conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway insists “cryptocurrencies will almost certainly come to

a bad ending”.

That has been hotly disputed at the World Government Summit in Dubai from those locked into the industry who are predicting the market cap

could double December’s high point of around $600 billion in 2018.

Bitcoin has halved in value in just weeks, currently trading at about US$8,500 (Dh31,000).

“Warren Buffett is good at renting furniture, but this is a very different system,” said Nick Spanos, founder of Bitcoin

Centre, New York City.

“Bitcoin is the goose that laid the golden cryptocurrency, and because of its success last year it has helped the emergence of hundreds of smaller

currencies.

“We should believe in bitcoin more than the currencies offered by central banks. History shows that something that is scarce, like bitcoin, has

value.

“Cryptocurrency is the people’s declaration of monetary independence."

• Spoke at the Venezuelan bank on smart contract oracles coinciding with the proposed “oil-backed” digital currency

• Tying value of a digital currency to a real world asset is a good concept in principle, but flawed in this case:

Unharvested reserves still in the ground are not a viable “reserve” to back a currency. The currency must be redeemable for the natural resource.

in 1913 that same item would cost $0.04 cents.
