Ben Bernanke<\/a>\u00a0– former chairman of the Federal Reserve<\/a> in the USA will take turn to speak at the Blockchain – banking conference Hosted by Ripple<\/a> in October.<\/p>\n

Known as a significant figure in global investing when it comes to traditional ways of money-putting who now is famous throughout the cryptocurrency community.<\/p>\n

Ripple – a virtual currency that wants to revolutionize how financial services by the industry are done, is maintaining and hosting the three-days long event.<\/p>\n

During which event, the major figure speaker Bernanke, who had his critics directed to digital currencies will be interviewed by Gene Sperling.<\/a>\u00a0Sperling famous for monetary and economic policies, is a former national financial and economic adviser under President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

How Bernanke Changed his thoughts towards Crypto<\/h3>\n

Couple of years ago, in 2013 Bernanke stated that: “Digital currencies are a major long-term investing asset with a strong promise” which opinion was directed to the congress.<\/p>\n

But later down the road, two years afterwards – according to the former chairman: “cryptocurrencies have some serious problems related to stability and anonymity”.<\/p>\n

Including Bernanke, there are many transformed investors, institutionalized money managers, economists that now have noticed the importance and worthiness of the future currency.<\/p>\n

John Mack, that formerly served as Chief Executive Officer for Morgan Stanley stated that he really has been investing in virtual currencies for many years now.<\/p>\n

But on contrary there are still many traditional leading investors that tank the thought of putting money in digital currencies.<\/p>\n

Like Dennis Gartman did put out that for the reason alone that he does not understand Bitcoin he will not be part of the “Punter’s Dream”.<\/p>\n
