A few days ago I've seen someone in this forum talking about the Silk Road acquisition, if I recall correctly this is Draper who single handly scooped up around 30K BTC (not 30K worth of
BTC, its 30K
BTC ) from the US govt when they opened an auction to sell BTC from Silk Road operation in 2014.
The owner of such a significant number of bitcoins clearly has motives to claim that
BTC will cost $250k or more.
In this interview, Draper's keynote was that he figured out the US Government's shift to Bitcoin. In recent times the government able to realise the actual benefits of Bitcoin. Also, he said some other things which are very interesting, why? cause I found no celebs dare to make such kind of talk on Live TV show.
I am presenting his exact statement to you through screenshots, I also quoted his statement below.
Of all the public people (like bankers, investors and other bigwigs from the traditional financial system) talking about bitcoin, Tim Draper is the one I liked the most because of his positive attitude towards bitcoin. But the statement about
the US Government's shift to Bitcoin now sounds to me like too hasty and loud a statement. What evidence is there for this?
I actually think that there will be a moment in time when I can buy my food, clothing, and shelter all in Bitcoin. And people won’t want dollars anymore.
Don't you ever really think that the day is not far away when people will no longer ask for dollar for anything?To begin with, at a minimum, in order for people to abandon the dollar and begin to use bitcoin at the official level as a means of payment, it will be necessary to adjust the legislation, since only the dollar is legal tender in the United States (or national currency in any other country).
This looks to me like another blowing up of the topic by blinded
BTC-fanatics who overestimate the capabilities of this asset and are completely unwilling to look at what is happening through the prism of sanity.
