Uber angel investor stirs Bitcoin debate with ‘build a better Bitcoin’ remark
Bitcoiners worldwide strongly disagreed with prominent angel investor Jason Calacanis’ “build a better Bitcoin” comment, arguing that layer-2s can fill any functionality gaps.
A technology investor who backed ridesharing app Uber in its early days has sparked backlash from the Bitcoin community after claiming Bitcoin will inevitably be replaced by something better.
“Bitcoin has been a wonderful game, but with a couple giant players cornering the market, the timing is right to “build a better Bitcoin” — restarting the game,” prominent angel investor and internet entrepreneur Jason Calacanis told his 981,600 X followers on March 14.
Calacanis, an early investor in Bitcoin-related companies like online trading platform Robinhood and Bitcoin startup Keza, said, “All technology gets replaced over time… and Bitcoin will be no different.”
