bitcoin advocate and billionaire Mike Novogratz was in the news again after he said that people should bow down to bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, and thank him for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. A leading voice in the crypto ecosystem, Novogratz appeared in an exclusive video with the founder of Morgan Creek Digital, Anthony Pompliano.
Novogratz is of the opinion that all kinds of funds, be it crypto or hedge, should own some amount of bitcoin. He also called the digital asset “sovereign money”. Talking about BTC’s fundamental technology, the blockchain, he added that bitcoin, originally a social experiment, had become “sovereign money” and held a market cap of $71.80 billion.
Novogratz also drew parallels with gold, a store of value. Novogratz claimed,
“bitcoin provides a really interesting alternative to gold.”
He was previously in the news when he claimed bitcoin will eventually become the digital gold, at the MENA summit 2019.
bitcoin’s prices rose to breach the $4,000 mark recently, following the recent market surge led by the market’s altcoins. There is architecture in place to facilitate adoption and accessibility, the billionaire said, predicting that over a period of twenty years, bitcoin was going to be “in the game.”
Novogratz also serves as a member of the Investment Advisory Committee on Financial Markets, at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. While talking about his first tryst with bitcoin as a member of the committee, Novogratz said that the committee viewed cryptocurrency more as a payment system than a currency. However, many in the Federal Reserve did love the idea of blockchain technology as a store of value, he said.
