Strike founder and CEO Jack Mallers recently expressed his endorsement for Bitcoin while criticizing other cryptocurrencies as “garbage.” In an interview with Yahoo Finance, Mallers emphasized that Bitcoin is the only crypto that he believes will stand the test of time. He described Bitcoin as an open public digital infrastructure that holds global potential. Mallers also highlighted the regulatory clarity and presence of Bitcoin on Wall Street, stating that it offers a safer and more secure investment option compared to other cryptocurrencies. However, he expressed skepticism about the future of altcoins due to uncertain regulations. Mallers suggested that the increasing global debt could potentially lead to a loss in the value of government currencies, making Bitcoin an attractive decentralized asset for investors. While Bitcoin’s current market performance has been quite volatile, with prices currently down around 4% from the previous day, Mallers remains optimistic about the digital asset’s future. He also dismissed Ethereum as a tech play rather than a widely recognized currency, citing the Ethereum hack as an example of its shortcomings. Mallers’ comments come at a time when Bitcoin ETFs have gained approval, simplifying cryptocurrency investments for traditional asset investors. Additionally, the upcoming Bitcoin halving event in 2024 is expected to further drive up the price of the popular cryptocurrency.
