“Simply think about the place we might be in 5 years, the place just about everybody within the Western world could have a smartphone pockets on their smartphone and so they’ll seemingly have the ability to transact with each restaurant on the earth.”

His long-term optimism for the way forward for the business and for a $500,000 BTC worth excessive level is tempered by short-term hurdles corresponding to the dearth of a spot Bitcoin ETF, “lingering features of Covid, various provide chain disruptions,” and the battle in Ukraine.
