Billionaire David Rubenstein Projects How Cryptocurrency

Billionaire Changes Stance, Supports Resilient Crypto Industry

David Rubenstein, a multibillionaire businessman, declared himself optimistic about the future of crypto assets. He expected that some blockchain enterprises would succeed in the future despite government obstacles. He also provided some insight into how the Congress feels about cryptocurrencies and its views on industry regulation. 

The industry is here to stay, he said, despite the fact that some businesses have been harmed by the recent drop in pricing. The billionaire had opposed cryptocurrency but is now a proponent of the growing sector.

The wealthy investor claimed that ideas that defy logic will succeed the most. He continued by saying that the expansion of the cryptocurrency business is being driven by the younger generation. Rubenstein compared the booming personal computer market in the 2000s to the cryptocurrency market.

When asked if he meant businesses like Coinbase, Rubenstein responded that he meant that kind of business. Actually, they haven't performed too well lately. The recent decrease in cryptocurrency has impacted them. However, the industry is still around.

Congress's Position on Crypto Regulation

According to Rubenstein, he doesn't believe Congressmen will overly regulate the sector. Republicans, libertarians, and those willing to spend money on lobbying tend to be very strong supporters of cryptocurrency in Congress, he said. He also cited Sam Bankman-recent Fried's admission that he spends a lot of time in Washington, DC, lobbying Congress on behalf of cryptocurrency. When questioned about the FTX CEO's investments in cryptocurrency businesses throughout the industry's turmoil, Rubenstein replied he did a reasonably good job.

"Young people frequently possess the intelligence to establish trends. Let's go into personal computers is not something that folks in their 70s say. Trends are created by young adults, and at the moment, the crypto community is driving this forward.

When questioned about his own cryptocurrency holdings, he revealed that he had purchased Paxos. He continued by saying that certain blockchain companies would succeed despite some of the difficulties associated with the crypto industry.
