"Bitcoin be the biggest leap forward in the democratization of money"





Wences Casares, a PayPal board member, renowned entrepreneur and CEO of  Xapo said

“I can imagine a world in which bitcoin becomes a global standard of value — it’s the first global and non-political standard of value — coupled with the first global and non-political standard of settlement,...That would be super powerful. It doesn’t really need a killer application or much payment adoption to become that, but that would change the world as we know it. It would be the biggest leap forward in the democratization of money we’ve ever seen.”
