He also said that he thought that there was "at least a 20% chance that this experiment will fail"

Casares' optimistic views on digital currency "I can imagine a world in which bitcoin is becoming a global standard of value – it's the first standard of global and non-political value – coupled with the first global norm and non-political settlement […] That would be the biggest b stride forward in the democratization of money we have ever seen. "

According to Casares, the future of crypto resides in the cooperation around a singular and robust Blockchain, and in his view, Bitcoin is most likely to be used in the future. to be the blockchain of choice:

"There is a huge incentive to have a very, very robust blockchain. At least for any process that, in the end, will be of value in motion of any kind […] There may be other cases of use that have no value that would deserve a blockchain different, but in terms of value, it is more likely, in my opinion, that we will have one. And currently, the most likely seems to be the Bitcoin blockchain. "
