Delivering a speech at the Delta Summit in Malta, the founder of deVere Group as well as a crypto proponent, Nigel Green told that skeptics are undermining the whole potential of the crypto industry.

He added that these are high-profile financial institutions and traditionalists, who are probably interested in preserving the status quo or have no understanding of the unprecedented shift, which currently occurs.
