Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, valued at $96 billion, has publicly stated that Bitcoin is "probably the best form of money ever created." He highlighted Bitcoin's scarcity, likening it to gold, but emphasized its advantages such as faster transactions, portability, and programmability. Armstrong's remarks reflect a growing institutional belief in Bitcoin's potential as a global monetary standard. Additionally, Jan Van Eck, CEO of VanEck, a $133 billion asset management firm, described Bitcoin as "digital gold" during a live Bloomberg interview, reinforcing the cryptocurrency's emerging status as a store of value akin to precious metals.
