Edward Snowden, a well-known advocate for cryptocurrency, recently spoke at the BTC Conference and shared his thoughts on Bitcoin. He urged investors to look beyond the price of the asset and focus on its actual use cases. Snowden highlighted the issue of lack of real anonymity in Bitcoin, making it easy for governments to track transactions. He drew a parallel to his own experience of using Bitcoin to pay for servers when he leaked classified NSA documents. Snowden also expressed concerns about institutions entering the Bitcoin market, as their influence could limit the power of regular people in decision-making. He specifically mentioned Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a way of “taming” Bitcoin. Additionally, Snowden criticized government and regulatory agencies’ attempts to oversee the cryptocurrency industry, stating that he doesn’t care about their opinions. He concluded by encouraging developers and users to focus on enhancing Bitcoin’s anonymity to align with Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision.
