TechFlow news, on December 9, Huobi HTX global advisor and TRON founder Justin Sun was invited to attend Bitcoin MENA. During the panel discussion titled "The Great Debate: Bitcoin vs Crypto," speaking about the relationship between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Justin Sun stated that one of Bitcoin's core narratives is as a store of value, which requires absolute security and decentralization to give every holder confidence. Therefore, for Bitcoin, the best approach is to maintain its original form—this may limit innovation but ensures stability. If we want to pursue innovation and explore cutting-edge consumer technology products, this can be achieved through other blockchains and cryptocurrencies.
"Each cryptocurrency has its own significance. For example, Ethereum or TRON—their value is easy to understand because millions of users interact with them daily. Then there are meme coins, whose value might not be immediately clear to us, yet from DOGE to SHIB and PEPE, meme coins have already reached significant scale. So I believe the cryptocurrency space is like a museum—you may not understand every exhibit, just as you might not comprehend why a banana could be worth $6 million. What you need to do is keep learning as cryptocurrency continues to evolve," said Justin Sun.
Bitcoin MENA is being held in Abu Dhabi from December 9 to 10 and is one of the largest crypto summits globally, marking the first time such an event has taken place in the Middle East and North Africa region. The summit has drawn numerous high-profile attendees, including Eric Trump, son of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, CZ Zhao Changpeng, and Marwan Alzarouni, CEO of Dubai Blockchain Center.
