Ashton Kutcher and Bitcoin

At the TechCrunch Disrupt NY Conference, celebrity tech investor Ashton Kutcher raised Bitcoin as an example of technology disruption for potential mass good.

“I think bitcoins are obviously becoming more and more relevant,” said the actor, who is also founder of the A-Grade venture firm.

“The fact that people are hacking bitcoins really hard, it almost hearkens back to when banks first started and they didn’t have safe safes and people were going into the banks and just robbing money out of the safe. It actually validates the value of the money itself,” he said. “I think the fact that you can buy drugs and ammo with it is actually (a) validator of the currency itself.”

“The bigger thing with bitcoin is not bitcoin itself, but what does that decentralized technology really do?” Kutcher said. “The same infrastructure that built out bitcoin could be used in the security industry for mass good.”
