Billionaire David Rubenstein rules out Bitcoin’s disappearance.

Co-founder of the Carlyle Group David Rubenstein, in an interview with Bloomberg, said that he would like to buy the first cryptocurrency at an early stage of its development.

“There is enormous global interest in the ability to own something that can be transferred to evade the government and kept secret. You may say that people shouldn’t do this, but that won’t stop them,” he explained.

The billionaire noted that the largest asset manager BlackRock and the investment giant Fidelity Investments filed applications with the SEC to launch ETF based on digital gold.

“If mighty BlackRock wants to have a Bitcoin ETF, perhaps Bitcoin should be around somewhere for a while,” he added, the co-founder of the Carlyle Group.

In May 2021, Rubenstein ruled out the disappearance of cryptocurrencies. He said that digital assets will remain part of the financial landscape for many years.

In September 2022, the billionaire disclosed personal investments in a crypto company and spoke optimistically about the industry’s prospects, despite a market downturn.
