He further stated that cryptocurrencies are tools of the future made for the distribution of resources in a dynamic and advanced manner.
As regards crypto volatility, he suggested that volatility is something that has so far safeguarded cryptocurrencies.
‘It is through volatility which has enabled the consumers becoming part of an entirely separate and distinct industry’, said Reeves. He, therefore, advised that ‘volatility would ultimately make this industry better and better over the years’.
The interviewer also asked Reeves if he owned any cryptocurrencies. In response, he apprised that he never bought any of the cryptocurrencies directly for himself.
Instead one of his closest friends did a cryptocurrency on his behalf. He revealed that he does own some cryptocurrencies without disclosing the name of the cryptocurrency which he hasn’t used ever.
