Raoul Pal, former Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) executive, who first got into Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) in 2013, on Wednesday shared his thoughts on why cryptocurrencies have become a vital part of the financial system.
What Happened: Pal’s journey into the world of Bitcoin began during the European Union banks and sovereign crisis, which showed him the limitations of traditional fiat money as a bearer asset.
This realization led him to believe that a new financial system was needed to fix the broken one that was “over-saturated with debt,” and that’s where cryptocurrencies came in.
