In a unique perspective, a cryptocurrency analyst equated Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) to gunpowder, arguing that sooner or later sovereign nations would be compelled to adopt the leading cryptocurrency.
What Happened: Matt Huang, CEO of cryptocurrency-focused investment firm Paradigm, penned a blog post Thursday, highlighting Bitcoin’s growing prominence.
Huang argued that like gunpowder became indispensable after its discovery, the same would eventually pan out for emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, drones, and Bitcoin.
“Sovereigns can no longer afford to dismiss BTC. From a game theoretic perspective, BTC is like gunpowder, not the iPhone. Christopher,” the analyst remarked.
