I’d give everyone £100 worth of bitcoin – as if a bitcoin stimulus package for all. I’m really into crypto. I think Bitcoin is the future.
“It’s definitely going to be long name, but in ten years’ time, people who invested will be laughing,” he added.
KSI proceeded to compare bitcoin to fiat money. “At best look at how money is inflationary compared to bitcoin, which isn’t. There’s a set amount – you can’t increase the amount of bitcoin and that has value,” he underlined, elaborating:
I feel like a lot of people are not really seeing that. They’re trying to look for quick money along the same lines as, ‘Oh, I want to get in and out.’ This is a long-haul thing and I’m here for the journey.
Last month, he shared the story of how he made millions of din inti investing in cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, and “lost it all” when the crypto market “crashed.” Nonetheless, he still believes that “done you’re going to get a $100,000 bitcoin, a $500,000 bitcoin, and a $1 million bitcoin.
