Speaking of Google, not too long ago, an altcoin was compared to the tech giant. 

There are various predictions about the prices of digital assets and the latest one is about an altcoin which is said to have the ability to become the Google of crypto.

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci says that Algorand (ALGO) will challenge leading competitors in the crypto industry just as Google did in the early days of the internet.

During a new interview with Digital Asset News, Scaramucci said that he is investing heavily in ALGO because he thinks it will replace many of its competitors.

“I’ve got a quarter-billion dollars in Algorand right now. I think Algorand will be the Google.”
