Sean Lennon said: “In an ocean of destruction that was this year, I find bitcoin to give me a kind of optimism, to be honest.” Talking about the paradigm shift that bitcoin is having on the world of finance and the implications for society Mr Keiser said: “Bitcoin is the first medium of exchange that promotes peace over violence because it is un-confiscatable.” Mr Keiser added: “Bitcoin for the first time in history separates the State from money.
“Wealth has always been the State’s money, or the king’s money.
“It has always been centralised.
“It is like when the separation happened between the State and the church, you had a remarkable revolution of thought.”
According to Mr Keiser the world is seeing another huge revolution of thought with the separation of money and State that bitcoin enables.

Speaking of the cryptocurrencies’ potential to change the balance of wealth and power in the world, Mr Keiser said: “With bitcoin, there will be a quantum leap in thinking, once you get it you can’t unsee it.

He added: “When we have a critical mass of people on the bitcoin vibration it will be awoken.
“We will have a quantum shift in consciousness that we will never go back from.”
