As director of trading at an exchange for Bitcoin, Silverman, 25, joined a bevy of Wall Street brokers, analysts hedge funds and other speculators taking a gamble on the new currency. They are drawn to Bitcoin’s soaring value — up about 50-fold the past year — as well as the novelty of pioneering a new realm of finance. ‘I think Bitcoin will be the first and oldest crypto-currency but not the last,’ Silverman said in an interview. ‘It’ll be a premier safe-haven asset.'”
