Comparing Bitcoin to gold, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler has highlighted the cryptocurrency's speculative nature as a key driver of its global appeal.
In a recent interview with CNBC, Gensler suggested that Bitcoin's potential market could encompass the entire world population. "I think that Bitcoin is a highly speculative, volatile asset. But with 7 billion people around the globe, 7 billion people want to trade it just like we do have gold for 10,000 years. We have Bitcoin. It might be something else in the future as well.
