Natalie Brunell, the host of the Coin Stories podcast, believes that the recent incidents involving Terra (LUNA, now renamed LUNC) and Celsius (CELH) and the subsequent market sell-off will lead to regulatory action likely to favor Bitcoin (BTC). over the rest of the cryptocurrencies.
“I’m going to be keeping an eye on regulatory developments, just pointing out that Bitcoin is a digital property and maybe there’s fairer accounting that can be done to allow institutions to invest,” he said in his latest interview with Cointelegraph. “And the other cryptocurrencies, I think will be considered securities,” he continued.
Brunell defines herself as a Bitcoin maximalist and therefore sees Bitcoin as a fundamentally different asset class from the rest of cryptocurrencies, mainly due to its trustless nature.
“I see [Bitcoin] as a digital property, as a savings technology, and so I focus my energy on that,” he said, adding that other cryptocurrencies are much more vulnerable to third-party risks.
“I have to worry about: who is creating them [altcoins]who is expanding the offer, who can be hired or fired, what experiment are they trying?
After a brilliant career in journalism, Natalie became a full time cryptocurrency after discovering Bitcoin. She then launched the Coin Stories podcast, where she interviews leading voices in the cryptocurrency industry.
