This is why, he added, they are looking for alternative safe havens that are outside of the current inflationary economy and that purely rely on technology, algorithms, and mathematics. Bitcoin ticks all these boxes, which is why people are diversifying their portfolio by investing in it, explained the CEO.
Furthermore, Mincu highlighted that the recent volatility in the price of cryptocurrencies is a part of their growth cycle and added:
“Every growth cycle comes with ups and downs, but overall you're always higher than you've been in the last cycle. There's a lot of demand because you have limited supply and then a growing demand.”
He said that cryptocurrencies are slowly bringing the same change to the exchange of value that the internet brought to the exchange of data and information. Concluding his points, the CEO emphasized that in the next three to five years, a majority of the economy will move to blockchain — the technology underpinning Bitcoin and other crypto assets.
