"We believe Bitcoin can become a major means of
payment for e-commerce and may emerge as a serious
competitor to traditional money transfer providers. As a
medium of exchange, Bitcoin has clear potential for
growth, in our view.“
David Woo, Head of Global Rates and Currencies Research at
Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research: [1]
"The idea is very exciting. I think having a global currency
where you don't have to spend all the money changing
your currencies is admirable and whoever is behind
bitcoin was brilliant."
Sir Richard Branson, CEO of Virgin Galactic: [2]
“The potential for disruption is enormous.”
“We have elected to put out money and faith in a
mathematical framework that is free of politics and
human error.”
