During a recent interview with Fox News, Draper argued that bitcoin’s inherent safety and superiority surpass those of traditional banking systems and government-controlled fiat currencies.
Venture Capitalist Tim Draper Says Bitcoin Is ‘Transforming the Way Currency and Commerce Is Done’
Tim Draper, a prominent advocate of bitcoin (BTC), has recently revised his prediction for the timeline when he anticipates BTC to reach $250,000 per unit. In an interview with Fox News published on Wednesday, Draper discussed the leading cryptocurrency asset on Fox Business’ “Claman Countdown” broadcast. Throughout the interview, Draper emphasized the significance of the Internet in society and expressed his belief that “the same is going to be true of bitcoin.”
“We’re going through one of the most exciting decades I think we’ll ever see in our lifetimes because we have bitcoin transforming the way currency and commerce is done,” Draper said. Currently, the venture capitalist stated that BTC was establishing its position amidst a vast array of other crypto assets.
“I think we are going to see bitcoin rise above the other cryptos,” Draper told the host. In fact, Draper adamantly asserts that bitcoin will further ascend to challenge other fiat currencies. According to the venture capitalist, bitcoin’s superiority and heightened efficiency surpass today’s conventional finance system.
“It’s just better technology — Having a bank and government decide on what currency is good is not as effective as having a bitcoin where there is a trusted third party, which are hundreds of thousands of nodes making sure the transaction was done properly,” Draper remarked. He added:
[Bitcoin is] just better, safer technology, and I think eventually the rest of world will come on board.
Draper further asserted that bitcoin is accepted worldwide and believes it is only a matter of time before retailers recognize the advantages of accepting bitcoin. He pointed out that they can avoid paying banks and credit card companies by utilizing BTC. The investor emphasized that eventually, BTC “will be the one everyone flies to when you can buy your food, clothing, and shelter.”
