Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, expressed his bullish outlook on Bitcoin, stating it checks all the boxes for a proper money system. He emphasized Bitcoin's decentralized trust system, which has developed over 16 years, and pointed out the increasing involvement of major financial institutions like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs in the cryptocurrency market. Scaramucci noted that Bitcoin's capped supply of 21 million and its efficiency in transactions make it superior to traditional forms of money, such as gold. However, economist Tony Annett challenged Scaramucci's assertions, arguing that Bitcoin does not serve as a reliable medium of exchange or store of value, but rather is primarily used for speculation and illicit activities. Despite the debate, data indicates that Bitcoin is the most utilized cryptocurrency for payments, accounting for 44% of transactions from 2014 to 2025, with about 39% of U.S. merchants accepting it. As of now, Bitcoin's price stands at $74,499.77, reflecting a 1.62% decrease in the last 24 hours.
