BlockBeats News, August 31, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was asked in an interview about his stance on "allocating assets to a currency or asset outside of the US dollar." He replied, "I would not choose cryptocurrency. I am a well-known skeptic of assets purely driven by speculation. I missed out on gold. I think, in general, a basket of stocks is the best long-term investment, ideally a basket of globally diversified stocks."
