Steve Wozniak: Bitcoin is better than gold and USD

I am having trouble finding anyone credible corroborating this from the past month [1].

The closest I could get is this June 2017 CNBC article where Wozniak discusses buying some Bitcoin, clarifying that he “didn't invest” but “did it so [he] could play with bitcoin” [2].

Yeah it's legit to question stories like this. With everything we hear about market manipulation, potentially fake news is a part of that.

I love Woz, just like I assume others here may be fairly fond of him, but I just feel that this is just adding to the celeb-fever of Crypto.

I hold a little Crypto (I'm actually down, as I've tried to design some basic trading bots and, well, you know... ;)) but not a lot.

I wouldn't buy a lot of crypto. How does it make sense? Just seems too insane.

One of the wonderful traits of Woz is that he is endlessly optimistic about technology. And once he can see the future of a technology, he gets excited, and it's infectious. I love watching him talk about gadgets almost as much as I love watching Cliff Stoll talk about anything.

Do you also "hold a little USD"?

I wonder what half-baked, blockchain startup he's sold his name to.

Keep in mind this is the same guy that invested $10m into Ripcord...
