Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says bitcoin is ‘mathematical miracle’

Apple founder Steve Wozniak has said that bitcoin is the digital equivalent of gold, and the product of a “mathematical miracle”.

As reported by El Sol de Mexico, Mr Wozniak said: “Gold is limited and you have to look for it; Bitcoin is the most amazing mathematical miracle. I do not invest in Bitcoin, but I believe in it for the future”, during his presentation at the Talent Land Jalisco 2021 technology conference.

In 2020 Mr Wozniak launched “WOZX”, a cryptocurrency token developed by a company that he part-founded called Efforce, which funds ventures it claims are more eco-friendly. Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies, have been criticised for the affect it has on the environment due to the amount of energy required to mine it.
