It shouldn't be surprising that a person from fiat money payment processor slams Bitcoin, all these people who have made their fortune thanks to fiat money, like bankers, traders and economists are feeling threatened by Bitcoin because it's an alternative to their system.
I think we'll begin seeing a distinct dichotomy among players in legacy finance between Bitcoin/cryptocurrency believers on one side and skeptics on the other.
Consider PayPal's founder and first CEO, Peter Thiel. He says that one cryptocurrency will become the "online equivalent to gold" and
bets it'll be Bitcoin.
They keep calling it a bubble and telling that it has no intrinsic value, but the fact that it has existed for this long, that it's price and adoption keeps growing and that developers work hard to improve it only means that Bitcoin is here to stay.
I agree, with a healthy touch of skepticism.
The hedge funds began seeing the light earlier on because good funds understand the intersection of markets and social trends. But even JP Morgan's analysts
recently conceded that Bitcoin could become a gold-like asset class as well.
