Jack Dorsey Touts Bitcoin’s Virtues at MicroStrategy Conference

In his first live public appearance since exiting the Twitter CEO role to focus on running payments company Block (formerly Square), Jack Dorsey reiterated his belief about how society can benefit from the adoption of bitcoin.

“We’re the closest we’ve ever been to having a native currency for the internet with bitcoin,” Dorsey said in a conversation with fellow bitcoin proponent MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor at MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin for Corporations conference on Tuesday. Dorsey added that the world needs a universal currency where, for instance, decisions made in Washington don’t affect smaller nations on the other side of the globe.
