Paul, discussing recent interest rate rises that US President Donald Trump called "crazy", explains that people always prefer using precious metals in cases where the national currency becomes unstable because the value of gold and silver is more stable. Therefore, the only chance to avoid a pending crisis is to abolish the "monetary madness," which includes the taxing of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The founder and CEO of Xapo, Wences Casares, stressed that Bitcoin is an intellectual experiment that still needs years to prove its success.

Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor said that cryptocurrency issued by central banks is "the inevitable future." However, he noted that people themselves will decide what forms of money and when to use.
In a conversation with the Cointelegraph at the "Money20/20" conference, Taylor said that central banks have advantages in issuing their own cryptocurrencies.
