Steve Wozniak is one of the most influential names in the field of technology. The co-founder of Apple declared at the WeAreDevelopers tech conference in Vienna, compared Ethereum with the acclaimed, previously named, company and said it could become just as influential.
While delivering his speech at the conference, Wozniak was enthusiastic about Ethereum (ETH), describing it as a platform similar to Apple’s. He said that in the long-term, Ethereum can become just as influential as Apple, stating:
“Ethereum interests me because it can do things and because it’s a platform.”
According to Forbes, Wozniak has been a follower of Bitcoin and Ethereum since its early days, although he divested from crypto in early 2018. Wozniak said he still owns one Bitcoin (BTC) and two Ethereum (ETH) to “experiment with paying for different things.”
“Gold gets mined and mined and mined. Maybe there’s a finite amount of gold in the world, but Bitcoin is even more mathematical and regulated and nobody can change mathematics.”
On Thursday, in his opening speech at the conference, Wozniak called blockchain technology, “the next major IT revolution that is about to happen.” He said that both blockchain and cryptocurrencies will achieve their full potential in a decade.
In October of last year, Wozniak said at the Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas that Bitcoin is “more genuine and real” than US dollar.
