Venture Capitalist Bill Gurley Prefers Ethereum to Bitcoin, Takes Personal Position in ETH

Venture capitalist Bill Gurley has taken a personal position in ether because he “was swayed by the arguments of the ethereum crowd.” He explained that it is “the smarter way to play if you’re going to have crypto exposure.”

Bill Gurley Prefers Ethereum to Bitcoin

Bill Gurley, a general partner at Benchmark, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm in San Francisco, California, shared his view on cryptocurrency in an interview with Bloomberg last week.

He began by admitting that he is late getting into crypto because he was focusing on direct listings and did not spend much time on the subject until April this year when he dedicated quite a bit of time to reading about cryptocurrencies. Gurley shared:

I have to say I was swayed by the arguments of the ethereum crowd. And so, I’ve taken a personal position.

Without specifying how much he invested in ETH, the venture capitalist emphasized that the investment was personal and not for his firm.

“I’m swayed by the ethereum crowd,” he reiterated. “The party that’s involved seems to be way more pragmatic. They seem to be open to changes and are basically making several changes which I think will bring down fees and will be very beneficial. The developer community is clearly in the ethereum camp.”

The venture capitalist opined:

I think there’s a ESG [Environmental, Social, and Governance] benefit once they move to proof-of-stake versus bitcoin. It seems to me to be the smarter way to play if you’re going to have crypto exposure.

Gurley clarified that he’s not a maximalist and he’s not arguing that everyone must have crypto exposure.

He also commented on the trading platform Robinhood which recently said that more than half of its revenue came from cryptocurrency and 62% of its crypto revenue came from dogecoin (DOGE). The venture capitalist said this is not a sound business model, adding that he sees Robinhood as more of a casino than an investment platform.

Kucoin Hacked for $150 Million in Bitcoin; Bitfinex and Tether Freeze $33 Million of the Stolen Funds

Cryptocurrency exchange Kucoin may have been hacked for $150 million in bitcoin and multiple ERC20 tokens. The Singapore-based exchange confirmed the September 25 security breach, but did not disclose the amount stolen. “Bitcoin, ERC-20 and, other tokens in Kucoin’s hot wallets were transferred out of the exchange,” said Kucoin in an update on Saturday. Meanwhile, Bitfinex and Tether, issuers of the centralized stablecoin USDT , immediately froze a combined $33 million worth of USDT suspected to be part of the funds looted in the Kucoin hack – an action that has stirred questions around the influence of centralized platforms. Paolo Ardoino, chief technology officer of both entities, tweeted that Bitfinex froze $13 million USDT on EOS as part of the hack. Tether froze $20 million USDT “sitting on this ethereum address as a precautionary measure,” he said. In its update, Kucoin maintains that funds in its cold wallets (offline storage, which is less susceptible to hacks) ar...
