Carl Icahn, founder of Icahn Enterprises, in an interview with Bloomberg<\/a>, spoke about planned “large-scale” investments in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

In the past, the Bitcoin skeptic noted that he views digital gold as a store of value, and Ethereum \u2014 among other things \u2014 as a payment system.<\/p>\n

He also believes that most issued digital assets will disappear over time, but overall they will remain in one form or another.<\/p>\n

\n

“At present I do not own cryptocurrencies and I do not think they are necessarily worth buying. I am studying how Icahn Enterprises can participate in a ‘serious’ way. These assets will remain in one form or another”<\/em>, \u2014 said Icahn.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The billionaire stressed that cryptocurrencies are gaining popularity due to rising inflation, and any criticism of them “in some respects is incorrect”.<\/p>\n

\n

“What is the value of the dollar? Its only value is the ability to use it to pay taxes”<\/em>, \u2014 explained Icahn.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When asked about the size of the investment, the entrepreneur declined to give a precise figure.<\/p>\n

\n

“One billion dollars, one and a half billion dollars, something like that. I won\u2019t say exactly”<\/em>, \u2014 he explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier, Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio said that invested in Bitcoin<\/a>. In his words, the devaluation of the U.S. dollar was the reason for such a decision, which creates attractive conditions for investments in cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
