As for Wood’s other statements, in October, she said that the flagship cryptocurrency could become a more valuable asset than most fiat currencies, including the US dollar. The expert said that when bitcoin was worth only $ 250, she asked renowned economist Art Laffer to study the Bitcoin White Paper. Wood wanted to consult with other professional analysts and determine whether BTC could fulfill the role of fiat money, i.e., be a means of saving and a unit of account.
In the course of his research, Laffer discovered that bitcoin has the potential to be an asset that supports the value of the US dollar. «I've been looking for a similar asset since we abandoned the gold standard. Bitcoin is a monetary system based on clear and strict rules. Bitcoin is as powerful as the entire US monetary system,» Laffer explained at the time.
