People are looking for alternatives because of a loss of confidence in paper money and traditional banking systems

Gold is a great way to preserve wealth, but it is hard to move around. You do need some kind of alternative and Bitcoin fits the bill. I’m not surprised to see that happening.

It’s not a knock on Bitcoin, I’m sure there are criminals using the Bitcoin world, but there are criminals and bad actors in the dollar world as well. The sight of a drug smuggler opening a suitcase full of $100 bills is not unusual.

Yep, seems so. For those who don't know, he's the author of "Currency Wars". A smart guy with plenty of connections, so always interesting to hear his thoughts.
