The Greatest Misses
They Weren't the Only Ones Wrong
“Bitcoin isn’t just speculation, it is also a statement of identity.”
— Josh Williams
$35,671
“For those who had assumed that it might turn into a currency -- terribly sorry, but this is an asset and it’s a highly speculative asset which has conducted some funny business and some interesting and totally reprehensible money-laundering activity.”
— Christine Lagarde
$37,386
“get out if you don't wanna loose all your money”
— Jordan Belfort
$6,177
“So it turns out that Bitcoin is just another bubble asset that blows up when the Fed gets serious about hiking interest rates. Zero store of value function. Zero diversification benefit. Zero yield. Sayonara Bitcoin...”
— Robin Brooks
$24,760
“Reserve assets must be secure, liquid and transparent. Bitcoin is none of these things.”
— Dr Joachim Nagel
$101,413
“Bitcoin is casino chips”
— Avery Pennarun
$60,368
“Bitcoin is almost as bs as fiat money.”
— Elon Musk
$23,473
“#Bitcoin, crypto, and blockchain will likely go down as the biggest example of popular delusions and the madness of crowds in world history. The overall losses when the bubble finally pops will be staggering. It's not just the speculators who will be left holding a bag of worthless Bitcoin, but also the investors who funded all the infrastructure and related businesses. This is likely the biggest misallocation of resources in human history. Not only will the net losses to society be staggering, but Bitcoin itself will do more to tarnish the reputation of libertarian capitalism and the concept of sound money than any failed government program ever has.”
— Peter Schiff
$81,483
“I don’t know where it will end or how it will end, but it will end. And when it ends, it will be ugly because there will be nothing there.”
— Stephen Isaacs
$55,685
“Bitcoin plays into a fantasy of self-sufficient individualism, of protecting your family with your personal AR-15, treating your Covid with an anti-parasite drug or urine and managing your financial affairs with privately created money, untainted by institutions like governments or banks.”
— Paul Krugman
$38,483
“One of the signs that Bitcoin is dying is that hardly anyone actually uses the currency.”
— Robert Nielsen
$217
“Bitcoin is worthless, artificial gold.”
— Charlie Munger
$9,624
