What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Lawrence H. White argued that Bitcoin's fixed supply makes it too volatile to serve as a reliable medium of exchange because there is no supply response to demand swings. In response, Saifedean Ammous stated that Bitcoin already functions as money and expects it to become less volatile and surpass gold as it matures.
