3) Bitcoin is not worthy, Sorry, I didn’t mean that: Jeffrey Gundlach
Jeffrey Gundlach also known as ‘Bond King’ shifts his opinion regarding Bitcoin from not being a trustworthy asset to the hedge against fiat currency inflation along with gold. Earlier in an Interview this year, with Business Insider says, “I don’t believe in bitcoin. I think that it’s a lie. I think that it’s very tracked, traceable. I don’t think it’s anonymous,” however in a recent appearance on the Rosenberg Research’s on November 2, Bond King says he was “not at all a Bitcoin hater”.

While discussing the new regulations, Ashley Alder details, “Once this new regime is in place, all virtual asset trading platforms in Hong Kong would be regulated, supervised and monitored.”
5) Blockchain can help build trust between countries & avoiding Nuclear Wars.
Nuclear Wars are considered to be the most dangerous & damaging wars. The King’s College London’s research arm, the Center for Science and Security Studies (CSSS), has distributed a report contending that blockchain innovation can upgrade the trust between nations battling to destroy atomic/nuclear warheads, in this way lessening the dangers of expected wars.
The reasons why countries don’t destroy Nuclear Weapons are due to a lack of trust in one another because of vital and lawful concerns not to uncover sensitive data. Thus, Dr. Burford singled out blockchain innovation as a potential arrangement. The paper understands that whenever executed, DLT can help check the disassembly of atomic warheads in a “protected, secure, and dependable way.” This would improve trust among countries marked the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by “propelling participation on atomic demilitarization and arms control confirmation.”
