Steve Wozniak: Bitcoin Is ‘The Only Digital Gold’

“I buy into what Jack Dorsey says, not that I necessarily believe it's going to happen, but because I want it to be that way, that is so pure thinking,” Wozniak explained.

Wozniak reiterated that he is “not an investor,” having originally purchased Bitcoin at $700 to experiment with its use as a means of payment. “I have one Bitcoin and two ether,” he told CNBC. Nonetheless, for Wozniak, Bitcoin represents a separate class of crypto asset to all others:

“Only Bitcoin is pure digital gold… and I totally buy into that. All the others tend to give up some of the aspects of Bitcoin. For example, being totally decentralized and having no central control. That's the first one they have to give up to try to have a business model.”
