Alex Gladstein on Peter McCormack's What Bitcoin Did podcast said that Bitcoin is not just an investment. And not only a tool for preserving accumulated values and trade, or a technology that ensures transparency and freedom. This, says the HRF top manager, is an energy saving tool, since it combines all the listed advantages.
“The main use case for Bitcoin is money. However, money is not only a store of value. Bitcoin is unique, so you need to carefully study how else it can be useful. Gradually you begin to understand how all the advantages of BTC are interconnected,” said Alex Gladstein.
Using Bitcoin as money is 'bad for dictators'. According to Gladstein, regulators and government agencies will do everything possible against the use of Bitcoin without Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. The podcast host agreed with the speaker, but added that he was convinced that so-called dictators also use Bitcoin.
Alex Gladstein is considered a dedicated supporter of Bitcoin. The HRF executive has written extensively about Bitcoin's role in promoting financial freedom and fighting authoritarianism, speaking with politicians, journalists and public figures about the impact of cryptocurrency on human rights. Last year, Gladstein said that Bitcoin, due to its decentralized nature, could fight corruption.
