Snowden Recognizes Bitcoin As Digital Gold

He has observed regulatory milestones and commented on the shifting attitudes of financial executives towards BTC. Snowden has also drawn comparisons between BTC and traditional assets, emphasizing its advantages as a digital asset. However, he has criticized Bitcoin’s privacy features and praised other cryptocurrencies for advancing privacy capabilities.
