Steve Wozniak Says Bitcoin Outperforms the U.S. Dollar

The mathematics and logic embedded in Bitcoin prevent copying or forging the first cryptocurrency, so it outperforms the U.S. dollar. Apple co‑founder Steve Wozniak said this in a recent interview with Yahoo Finance.

“Look at the U.S. dollar; the government can print new banknotes and borrow—it’s as if it will never be fixed. Bitcoin is mathematics, mathematical purity. A different Bitcoin can never be created,” he said.

Wozniak compared the U.S. monetary system to the blockchain of the first cryptocurrency. He called fiat ‘artificial’ and noted that he enjoys ‘the science, mathematics, logic and computer code’ embedded in Bitcoin.

The Apple co-founder also noted the decentralized nature of digital gold, which allows it to maintain a level of predictability that is hard to achieve with the U.S. dollar. In his view, regulators can create new paper notes at whim, and inflation is hard to forecast.

“We don’t even know who created Bitcoin. Its network isn’t controlled by any company; it is simply mathematically pure, and I have always believed that nature is above man,” he added.

At the same time, the Apple co-founder dismissed the anonymous features that some cryptocurrencies offer as unnecessary. He said he sees no need for private payments.

Earlier in July, Apple co-founder called Bitcoin a mathematical wonder.
