Founder and CEO of Galaxy Investment Partners Mike Novogratz reaffirmed his belief that currently Bitcoin serves as digital gold rather than a currency during a recent interview on Bloomberg TV.

“I don’t think Bitcoin is going to be used as a transactional currency anytime in the next five years,” he said.

As central banks continue to print money to buoy economies through the COVID-19 pandemic the argument for using Bitcoin as a store of value rather than currency has become increasingly popular. Novogratz added that Bitcoin as a digital gold is going to continue appreciating in value and that more and more people will want to add it to their investment portfolios.

Novogratz also predicted that companies including E*Trade Financial, Visa Inc., Mastercard Inc. and American Express Co. will follow in PayPal's footsteps to offer merchants the option to transact in stablecoins and cryptocurrencies.
