Reviews for Bitcoin

  • Frances Coppola on Bitcoin Financial Writer and Commentator

    Until the Bitcoin community ditches the cranks and adopts a sensible monetary policy that properly recognises both the need for savings to be intermediated into productive investment and the need for money to flow, Bitcoin cannot possibly operate as the anchor of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

  • Mike Hearn on Bitcoin Lead Platform Engineer at R3 CEV

    Why has Bitcoin failed? It has failed because the community has failed. What was meant to be a new, decentralised form of money that lacked โ€œsystemically important institutionsโ€ and โ€œtoo big to failโ€ has become something even worse: a system completely controlled by just a handful of people. Worse still, the network is on the brink of technical collapse.

  • Peter Thiel on Bitcoin Partner at the Founders Fund

    I would be long Bitcoin, and neutral to skeptical of just about everything else at this point with a few possible exceptions. There will be one online equivalent to gold, and the one you'd bet on would be the biggest.

  • Jill Carlson on Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Consultant at Juno LLC

    Why will Bitcoin accrue value in a way that Ethereum wonโ€™t?

    Because in addition to being a protocol, it is a product.
