In an interview with “The Hustle” last week, billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller (Stanley Druckenmiller) became the latest non-technical figure, which dispelled people’s doubts about the staying power of Bitcoin.
“I think BTC won the store of value games because it is a brand that has existed for 13 to 14 years and has a limited supply,” he said. Say.
“Will this be gold? I don’t know. To be sure, it has been imitated very well in the past year or two.”
For Druckenmiller, Ethereum is to Bitcoin what MySpace is to Google.
“I am more skeptical about whether it can maintain its position. This reminds me of MySpace before Facebook.” He continued.
“Or a better analogy is Yahoo before Google. Google is not much faster than Yahoo, but it doesn’t need to be. All it needs to do is to be faster, and the rest is history.”

The limited supply of Bitcoin and the ability to resist attacks for many years put Bitcoin in a different alliance with any other cryptocurrency, and comparing another Bitcoin with it is an apple to orange comparison.

“I think their real competition is, if I’m generous, I would say Amazon Web Services and such platforms.”
