What did the world’s best players believe about bitcoin at the Economic Forum?
The rich leaders, as well as some cryptocurrency enthusiasts, rub elbows in a Cointelegraph film to express their perspectives on cryptocurrency.
“Crypto Street,” a collection of spontaneous discussions with total strangers to inform, amuse, and conduct a temperature test on the world’s connection with cryptocurrency, is now available on Cointelegraph.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, is the setting for the very first episode. Before finding crypto enthusiasts among the WEF participants, Cointelegraph journalist Joseph Hall tried to meet with the world’s elite and was rebuffed, mocked, and dismissed.
Hall, who was wearing a Cointelegraph hoodie with the biggest Bitcoin (BTC) emblem, challenged people passing to identify what the print said. Some attendees at the WEF declined to speak to the camera, whereas others professed inexperience.
“That’s a Bugatti, not a Bentley!” At the Global Competitiveness Report, a bystander cracked a joke. Alternatively, they may have mistakenly assumed the Bitcoin emblem to be an automotive brand.
The shoot then travels to Davos’ digital alleys, where crypto startups outnumber the representation of traditional financial institutions. According to Irina Heaver, a cryptocurrency attorney and Bitcoin supporter, Bitcoin is “freedom.” She clarified that for the sake of her family:
“They were left impoverished when the Soviet Union collapsed, as were lots of other people […] Can you imagine how beautiful their families would be if they had some of that (Bitcoin)?
Heaver also stated that an increasing number of Russians transact with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, indicating the nation’s rising interest in the technology. The “youth of today is a lot more intrigued by Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies,” according to WEF participants from India, where digital knowledge is at best mediocre.
“There needs to be some thought and action to make [crypto] more viable.”
The World Economic Forum and the International Monetary Fund are close pals, and the IMF has constantly pushed for national digital money and a shift away from solid evidence blockchain systems toward less electricity proof-of-stake blockchain systems.
Nas Daily, the Youtuber and Bitcoin HODLer who has lost $200,000 on Bitcoins so far, makes an appearance. “I lost a lot of money,” he shouts as he emerges on video.
Additionally, there’s a cappella performance of Nina Simone by up-and-coming vocalist Evan Klassen, as well as a Golden Retriever who keeps his mouth shut about Dogecoin (DOGE) price projections for 2022. Klassen will be collecting autographs during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in the year, and; will he sing a crypto song?
