According to Foresight News, StarkWare Co-Founder Eli Ben-Sasson recently shared his thoughts on Bitcoin's role as a currency. In a social media post, Ben-Sasson noted that when people refer to Bitcoin as 'digital gold,' they are highlighting its potential as a monetary tool. However, he acknowledged that Bitcoin is currently somewhat cumbersome in this role.
Ben-Sasson pointed out that just as gold is not used as a currency in everyday transactions today, Bitcoin is also not widely adopted as a primary payment method for daily economic activities. Despite this, he expressed optimism about Bitcoin's future, predicting that it will eventually reach a stage where it is used as a currency.
His comments reflect ongoing discussions in the financial community about Bitcoin's potential to evolve beyond its current status and become a more integral part of the global financial system.
