Mikael van de Popp criticizes bitcoin skeptics

A well-known lover of the flagship cryptocurrency, Mikael van de Popp from Amsterdam, criticized people who are skeptical about the digital asset industry. According to him, they have a negative attitude towards bitcoin and other cryptocurrency assets, as they have insufficient awareness of what is happening.

He noted that a large wave of skepticism was caused by the collapse of the FTX exchange. Users increasingly spread negative rumors about other cryptocurrency platforms. In their opinion, absolutely any site can close, including Binance. Van de Popp believes that it is not worth spreading such rumors, being insufficiently informed.

The native of the Netherlands drew an interesting analogy between cryptocurrency exchanges and regular banks, noting the fact that large withdrawals can be made from crypto exchanges, while in traditional banks withdrawal amounts are usually limited for most customers. He drew attention to the fact that, despite the restrictions, no one is worried about the welfare of banks.

Mikael van de Popp is one of the world's most vocal advocates of cryptocurrencies and is skeptical of critics of digital assets. In his opinion, everyone who criticizes bitcoin and other assets simply does not fully understand the specifics of the operation of blockchain systems and companies associated with them.

Van de Popp also commented on the statements of people who want to ban BTC mining using the Proof-Of-Work method due to environmental pollution. He noted that these people also pollute the environment and contribute to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by doing it in other ways:

They propose to ban cryptocurrency, as they consider it a threat to the future of humanity. Yet these same people drive cars every day, burning gasoline and drinking coffee from plastic cups, generating tons of garbage every year.

Bitcoin is currently valued at $16,866 apiece. Over the past 24 hours, the crypto asset fluctuated in the range between $16,759 and $16,907. The dominance of BTC in the market is 40%, and the capitalization of the main digital asset exceeds $324,000,000,000.
