Belfort’s Stance on Bitcoin in 2018

He stated back then that Bitcoin was used for illicit activities like money laundering among others and this would attract the Feds attention to placing a ban on the digital asset to checkmate the illegal activities which would lead to the final collapse of the digital asset.
