The title is so misleading. It's just a interview, and there's nothing in the interview that gives room for what the title is saying.<p>> Barzilay: Do you believe Bitcoin will ever be embraced by the U.S. government?<p>> Dr. Hosp: I think that the concept of virtual currencies will definitely be embraced, because they have a very transparent transaction ledger. So, we know exactly what’s been happening. With bank transfers, it’s quite hard, but with fiat money it’s impossible, so I think virtual currencies will see a huge uprise by governments. Whether governments will embrace Bitcoin - let’s see, but there is definitely value for people. Bitcoin is very difficult to hack, it’s almost impossible to steal if you use for example multi-signature bolt. And with TenX you can spend Bitcoin pretty much anywhere. So, this is the future to go. I don’t think that Bitcoin is going to be a currency, but it’s going to have status like gold.
