Apple co-founder, engineer and philanthropist Steve Wozniak has recently spoken quite positively about the largest cryptocurrency bitcoin (BTC). He calls it, among other things, a mathematical phenomenon and makes the comparison with gold.
Bitcoin is a ‘Mathematical Wonder’
During a presentation in Mexico, Wozniak makes clear what he really thinks about bitcoin. According to him, bitcoin is a true “mathematical marvel” and is a better store of value than even gold. Because gold is only available in physical form, it is a lot less accessible than bitcoin, says Wozniak.
“Gold is limited and you have to actively look for it. Bitcoin is the most insane ‘mathematical miracle’”
In addition, Wozniak argues that gold is not scarce enough. We will always continue to find more gold in the near future. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is fully capped at a maximum of 21 million coins.

“We continue to find gold. One day we will even be able to produce it in factories”
This is not the first time Wozniak has spoken out about bitcoin in this way. He already spoke out in 2018 that he hoped bitcoin would become the currency of the world.
He is not the first prominent person to speak out about bitcoin and gold in this way. Including Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy and Anthonny Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital called bitcoin a better store of value than gold.
Not an investor in bitcoin yourself
Despite these laudatory words about bitcoin, Wozniak indicates that he has no position in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. Nevertheless, Wozniak continues to believe that bitcoin will become more and more valuable in the future and that it will gain more and more influence in the world.
Wozniak also interfered with crypto Youtube and the common scams on this platform last year. Among other things, he filed a lawsuit against Youtube because, according to Wozniak, the platform did not do enough against such malpractices.
Ultimately, Wozniak would lose this case.
