David Marcus, the head of Facebook's cryptocurrency projects, said Bitcoin is more like an investment than a currency.
David Marcus, the head of Facebook's cryptocurrency projects, on Wednesday said that Bitcoin is digital gold, but it's not a good currency for transactions.
"I don't think of Bitcoin as a currency. It's actually not a great medium of exchange because of it's volatility," Marcus said speaking at the New York TimesMarcus said Bitcoin is like gold because you can hold on to it as an investment just as people do with actual gold, but the drastic upswings and dips that Bitcoin goes through makes it a bad option for people who need a system to send remittances across borders.
Marcus said a key reason that Bitcoin has not been regulated out of existence is because it is not perceived to be a medium of exchange.
