“Kanishka Sukumar, a 24-year-old consultant in midtown Manhattan, holds about a third of his wealth in bitcoin. He represents a new generation of ‘gold bugs’ who question the stability of paper currency or seek better ways to protect savings, according to The Wall Street Journal. One in five bitcoin users hold the cryptocurrency since they don’t want the government or banks controlling their money, according to a survey of 3,500 bitcoin users.
