Big coin is the best form of digital currency you can have, Antony says. He would always prefer a crypto currency backed by gold to one backed by nothing. A hundred and 25 million users is less than two per cent global saturation. If i'm right, if kathy wood is right, you'll be at over a billion users in fourfive years. And these coins will be several times more than their ite agony.

Since the world economy was plunged into crisis as a result of COVID-19 many economists have predicted a period of great instability. In normal times investors would seek to hedge against volatility by buying gold. But this time some are putting their money elsewhere – into Bitcoin and other digital assets. And that raises a fundamental question: in a time of rising inflation, will Bitcoin or gold be the trusted store of value and asset of the future? Anthony Scaramucci, Founder and Managing Partner of SkyBridge Capital and former White House Director of Communications goes head to head with Peter Schiff, chairman of Schiff Gold and chief global strategist for Euro Pacific Capital. The debate is hosted and chaired by Anne McElvoy, Senior Editor at The Economist.
