“every Bitcoin crank a prophet,” and admitted to being wrong on crypto’s “fundamental necessity”

"I still can't believe that this is the protest that would prove every Bitcoin crank a prophet. And for me to have to slice a piece of humble pie, and admit that I was wrong on crypto's fundamental necessity in Western democracies." https://t.co/9smNKyabm0

David also explained how he criticized Bitcoin and crypto in the past. 

“To say I’ve been skeptical about Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto universe would be an understatement of epic proportions. Since the early 2010s, some of my most ferocious Twitter battles have been against the HODL army with the laser eyes.“

Further, he said that the recent use case of Bitcoin by the Canadian citizens against the government authorities was appreciable and that the situation was showing the real use case of Bitcoin because of its decentralized nature.

Ukraine using crypto against its own National Rules 

If we look at the countries’ rules and regulations then almost every country doesn’t support Bitcoin or any other crypto in terms of the payment system, except El Salvador. 

At present, Ukraine is facing critical issues because of the critical situation due to Russian military invasions. In this situation, the Ukrainian government is officially accepting crypto payments-based fund donations directly, by going against its own National Rules. 

These things are enough to explain the necessity of cryptocurrencies in our life as lifesavers at night.
