Ripple CTO David Schwartz believes that Bitcoin's historical significance and economic impact make it truly exceptional, rather than its technical features. He argues that while other blockchains may have impressive technical advantages, they lack the same level of trust and usage that Bitcoin has. Schwartz acknowledges that Bitcoin has scalability and energy usage issues but highlights its reliability as a store of value and widely accepted financial asset. The discussion arose following a dispute between Schwartz and Craig Wright, who claims to be the inventor of Bitcoin. Schwartz focuses on preventing legal abuse rather than silencing opposing views during the conversation.
