If you have been following our cryptocurrency news over the past couple of years, you probably know the largest authorities in the industry. Today, we are featuring an interview with the chief strategy officer at CoinShares, Meltem Demirors, and her vision about the three essential things that BTC represents.
For those of you who don’t know, CoinShares is a leading firm and a pioneer in digital asset management ever since 2014. The company is backed by a team with deep expertise in finance. The podcast which was recently hosted by Bitcoin Marco (one of the most popular voices in the space) talks with Demirors about Bitcoin as a software, a network and an asset.
“For traditional investors, it’s sort of a challenging paradigm when these three things are wrapped together,” Demirors explained at the start of the episode.
What’s also interesting is the fact that Meltem Demirors is giving a lot of insights on the Bitcoin news now as well as the nature of the coin. In this specific podcast, the CSO at CoinShares is actively giving insights on many things, including:
- The nature of crypto and how it is all-encompassing to the people in the space
- Why Libra is in a lot of ways the antithesis of Bitcoin (with a comment on the latest Libra coin news)
- Why the US dollar is still the most desired asset in troubled regions
- Why speculation is a gateway for deeper engagement with Bitcoin
- The “future fetish” era of blockchain development as described by Meltem Demirors
- The idea of Bitcoin and why it being “unregulated” is not quite accurate
- The new battles around central bank issued digital currencies
And a lot more…
One of the most interesting insights on Bitcoin (BTC) shared by Meltem Demirors is the threefold aspect she sees BTC being involved with. As she said in the podcast:
“Bitcoin is a network and what’s interesting here is bitcoin is kind of a supranational global communication network, and so there are tens of thousands of devices around the world, whether people are running minors, or people are just running full nodes there’s this network of computational devices that are maintaining the bitcoin ledger, and engaging the invalidating transactions, and maintaining the integrity of the ledger, and so the bitcoin network is physical in nature.”
Demirors continued:
“And then, lastly, you have bitcoin the asset. And so, what I think is interesting here is for traditional investors it’s sort of a challenging paradigm when these three things are wrapped together, so when you see people look at bitcoin they’ll talk about bitcoins in the context of software infrastructure.”
