American billionaire and former hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller believes that investing in Bitcoin will be more profitable than investing in gold.

During his speech on CNBC, Druckenmiller noted the stabilization of the cryptocurrency market and the noticeably reduced volatility of the first cryptocurrency. Now, according to Druckenmiller, investing in Bitcoin is not that much different from investing in gold. 

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor said his company will not sell BTC for 100 years as Bitcoin is the best way to store value.

In mid-August, MicroStrategy announced the purchase of 21,454 BTC for $ 250 million, becoming the first US public company to invest a significant portion of its reserves in this digital asset. In an interview with Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal, Sailor said the decision to invest the large sum in Bitcoin was made in conjunction with the firm's board of directors, investors, auditor and executives. Sailor clarified that he does not view Bitcoin as a market speculation or hedging tool. The company deliberately acquired this cryptocurrency to gradually introduce Bitcoin into the financial system.

In the monthly issue of the digest on the cryptocurrency market, Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone said that within 5 years the Bitcoin rate could exceed $ 100,000.

American entrepreneur and author of the book "The Price of the Future" Jeff Boothhas called Bitcoin a must-have asset for investment in the current financial situation.

Jeff Boothhas writes that even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the combined public debt of all countries in the world was $ 250 trillion, with a total global annual GDP of $ 135 trillion. At the same time, $ 185 trillion of debt has been accumulated over the past 20 years. After the pandemic, the situation got worse.

According to the analytical portal Coinmetrics, the boom of decentralized financing projects also affects stablecoins - the capitalization of the stable cryptocurrency market is growing by about $ 100 million per day.    

"Everyone got so excited about DeFi no one pointed out that stablecoins have been adding $100m/day since mid-July. DeFi yields/interest rates are clearly a vacuum sucking in a lot of stablecoins," Coinmetrics co-founder Nic Carter wrote on Twitter.

Anthony Pompliano, a cryptocurrency enthusiast and co-founder of Morgan Creek Digital, said that Bitcoin's capitalization will exceed that of gold by 2030.

The founders of the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss believe that Bitcoin is much more reliable than gold, because there are huge reserves of this metal on asteroids.

Popular trader Dave Portnoy interviewed the Bitcoin billionaires of the Winklevoss, in which they stated that Elon Musk will someday mine gold from asteroids, so it is better to invest in Bitcoins. The value of Bitcoin and gold is in the limited supply of these assets, but if gold is mined in space, then its price will collapse.

A major South Korean Bank, KEB Hana Bank, has entered into a partnership with the country's toll road operator, under which it will launch a blockchain-based payment and ride accounting system.

The Bank plans to launch the system by the end of this year. Drivers can use the "Hana One Q" app to pay their fares. At the same time, drivers will even be able to get a refund for travel. The introduction of a contactless payment system was a step towards avoiding paying with cash or credit cards to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection. 

Michael Sonnenshein, managing director of Grayscale Investments, believes that approving Bitcoin traded exchange traded funds (ETFs) is just a matter of time.

"We think the launch of ETFs on Bitcoin is a matter of time. Regulators have done an excellent job, they are trying to stay on the cutting edge of the development of digital assets as a class," said Sonnenshein in an interview with Anthony Pompliano, founder of Morgan Creek Digital.
