However, this is just a personal opinion, the CEO still respects everyone's right to freedom of investment. He advised the public not to participate or touch Bitcoin, for the reason that it is somewhat unlikely Satoshiwill return and create more Bitcoin beyond the limit21 million BTC.
"Blockchain is real, it's a technology the world is using and has talked about too much over the past 12 years. Therefore, don't waste too much words on it. "
