Barry Silbert, CEO of Digital Currency Group (DCG), one of the world’s largest digital asset companies, made important statements.

Speaking at the Bitcoin Investor Week conference in New York, Barry Silbert stated that as the cryptocurrency market develops, 5-10% of the capital held in Bitcoin will flow into privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Zcash in the next few years.

Silbert stated that while he has absolute faith in Bitcoin and acknowledges it as a fundamental component of a diversified portfolio, he personally prefers investing in innovative projects with the potential for 100 or 1000 times returns.

At this point, the renowned CEO, highlighting privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, emphasized that these cryptocurrencies also offer a good investment opportunity, similar to Bitcoin’s early days.

Silbert also drew attention to the altcoin Zcash (ZEC), stating that ZEC has the potential to increase in value 100x, 500x, or even 1000x.

However, he added that he thought such a rise was unlikely for Bitcoin.

Finally, Silbert stated that it is unlikely for Bitcoin to increase in value 500 times unless the US dollar completely collapses, but reiterated that he sees such high potential in altcoins like ZEC and TAO.

Silbert also stated that while he doesn’t believe quantum computing poses a threat to Bitcoin, “Zcash is a great hedging tool.”

In this context, while DCG has been a significant supporter of Zcash for years, Silbert stated that he “feels more comfortable talking about financial privacy” since Paul Atkins took over as SEC chairman, adding, “My top priority right now is privacy.”

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
