Peterson made statements about Bitcoin at the Bitcoin 2022 conference. According to the news reported by The Block, the famous psychologist, who said that he was not pessimistic about the ecosystem, stated that he was still cautious in the face of the undesirable consequences of decentralization.
Peterson, although clear that centralized control is unethical, was skeptical of whether the solution to Bitcoin was Bitcoin, and used the following statements on the subject:
“The idea of a decentralized monetary system, this revolutionary It’s an idea and I’ve thought a lot about it, it’s making me cautious.”
Peterson also said that over time Bitcoin could draw money from the political system, but on the other hand, he stated that this possibility worries him “as a social scientist”. Reminding that new ideas can have undesirable and unexpected effects, Peterson used the following statements on the subject:
“We have no idea what will happen if money is truly decentralized. If we achieve this, let’s say Bitcoin reaches priority and becomes irreversible? Is this permanent? Then ‘What if this is a bad idea?’ you think and it is irreversible.”
