Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak Loves Bitcoin and Hates the iPhone X

As one of the founders of Apple Inc., Steven Wozniak has earned a place of admiration and respect within the tech community, even earning him the moniker “The Woz” by those who regard him fondly. This fact also lends a certain weight to his words and sentiments, which makes his love for Bitcoin and dislike of the iPhone X potent messages.

Speaking to CNBC recently, Wozniak revealed that he is quite fond of Bitcoin and shares Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s sentiments in wanting the cryptocurrency to become the world’s single currency. With this particular concept, while it would not necessarily spell the end for other currencies of individual countries, it will at least provide people from all over the world with the ability to purchase and spend money using just one platform.

"I buy into what Jack Dorsey says, not that I necessarily believe it's going to happen, but because I want it to be that way, that is so pure thinking," Wozniak said.

Wozniak himself has been an investor in Bitcoin and sold all of his coins but one. Apparently, he treated the experience as an experiment. As to why he would even want just one global currency via this particular cryptocurrency, it’s apparently due to the purity of it.

"Bitcoin is mathematically defined, there is a certain quantity of bitcoin, there's a way it's distributed… and it's pure and there's no human running, there's no company running and it's just… growing and growing… and surviving, that to me says something that is natural and nature is more important than all our human conventions," Wozniak explained.

If “The Woz” loves Bitcoin, he has the opposite sentiments with regards to the iPhone X. In the same interview, he revealed that he is not a fan of how confusing the smartphone has become because it ran contrary to what an Apple product was supposed to be, Fortune reports.

“It’s kind of confusing,” Woz said. “And that’s not the nature of Apple products.”
