Debating Bitcoin's core intent: cash or virtual gold?

Debating Bitcoin's core intent: cash or virtual gold? @maxkeiser: Bitcoin's intent: cash or gold?

The discourse around Bitcoin's original purpose has resurfaced, reigniting debates within the crypto community.

Max Keiser, a prominent advocate of cryptocurrency, recently highlighted on Twitter the common misinterpretations of the original Bitcoin white paper. According to Keiser, many misunderstood Satoshi Nakamoto's vision, interpreting 'peer-to-peer cash' as something separate from 'gold'. Keiser asserts that Bitcoin was always meant to be 'virtual gold' - primarily a store of value. This perspective prompts further analysis of Bitcoin's role in modern finance and technological landscapes.

In the previous news, author Max Keiser spoke about El Salvador's unrivaled position in Bitcoin adoption, asserting that every Salvadoran owns about $500 worth of the cryptocurrency.
