Bitcoin As Digital Gold
Deaton, who is known for the sharp criticism against the SEC’s enforcement actions, talked about the potential use case of Bitcoin acting as the digital dollar. Similarly, XRP’s use case would be to move the value within cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin’s use case is digital gold, as an alternative form of storage of value, he explained about the crypto market at the hearing.
“Bitcoin and digital assets are here to say no matter what. The government and the Federal Reserve should accept the reality and adopt it.”
There is a perceived threat about cryptocurrencies to the US Dollar and the incumbent (financial) system, he added, saying that it was not true.
