前谷歌首席执行官兼董事长埃里克·施密特 (Eric Schmidt) 对比特币所基于的架构印象深刻。他相信加密货币。事实上，在我们最近的文章中，他透露他投资了“一点”钱 进去。
一段视频现在正在虚拟平流层中流传，显示谷歌的高层称赞比特币技术是一项“了不起的成就”。
该视频实际上是 2014 年施密特在计算机历史博物馆发表演讲时的片段。在视频中，这位前谷歌大老板强调了比特币的底层设计——以及为什么它在现代很重要。
“比特币是一项非凡的密码学成就......创造数字世界无法复制的东西的能力具有巨大的价值，”他说。
根据施密特的说法，加密货币的基本架构……“是一个惊人的进步。很多人会在此基础上建立业务。”
施密特是一位美国商人和软件工程师，他于 2001 年至 2011 年担任谷歌首席执行官，并见证了公司最重要的发展阶段之一。
这位土生土长的弗吉尼亚人在 2015 年至 2017 年期间担任 Alphabet Inc. 的执行主席，并在 2017 年至 2020 年期间担任技术顾问，这只是他多年来担任的众多其他重要职位中的几个。
施密特发表这些评论时，比特币 (BTC) 仍在争夺全球知名度。尽管他对基石加密货币的看法在当时并未引起注意，但他帮助为其全球认可铺平了道路。
施密特对比特币技术的看法与最近的一次爆料是一致的，他在爆料中强调了他对加密货币背后的技术的兴趣。这位 67 岁的前谷歌 CEO 的职位可能被视为加密货币未来的重要推动力。
施密特没有具体说明他目前拥有哪些加密货币，表示他“刚刚开始”投资这些加密货币。
离开谷歌后，他通过施密特未来计划将大部分注意力投入到慈善事业中，通过该计划资助生物学、能源和人工智能等领域的基础研究。
值得注意的是，这位前高管的加密技术进步随着时间的推移而加速。例如，他于 2021 年加入 Chainlink 团队，担任公司战略顾问。此外，他与人合着了《人工智能时代》一书，探讨了科技行业的未来。
截至 2022 年 4 月，施密特在彭博亿万富翁指数全球富豪榜中排名第 54 位，估计净资产为 251 亿美元。
