Bitcoin ATM CEO: Cryptocurrency Needs Regulation to Survive
In an exclusive interview with CCN, the CEO of the world’s largest Bitcoin ATM network took a hard stance against those who believe in a world where Bitcoin and its peers can survive unregulated.
Sheffield Clark, whose company — Coinsource — recently installed 17 new Bitcoin ATMs in Florida, stated that cryptocurrency is not a viable or realistic payment solution at this time, citing it as a major obstacle to be overcome for all in the space.
“With the time and cost that it takes to use Bitcoin to pay for everyday items as currently constructed, is not realistic for most people to use it in this way. It doesn’t make sense for them to. It is not easier or more cost efficient than traditional financial instruments at this time.”
