Bitcoin As Digital Gold

Deaton, who is known for the sharp criticism against the SEC’s enforcement actions, talked about the potential use case of Bitcoin acting as the digital dollar. Similarly, XRP’s use case would be to move the value within cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin’s use case is digital gold, as an alternative form of storage of value, he explained at the hearing. There is a perceived threat about cryptocurrencies to the US Dollar and the incumbent (financial) system, he added, saying that it was not true.
