No bad takes on record β yet. We're keeping score.

βBitcoin is a joke perpetuated on a gullible investing public.β
β John Q. Public
$624

β#Bitcoin won't be around a decade from now.β
β Peter Schiff
$40,094

βThe idea that desperately poor people with limited access to basic necessities will have the technology and the expertise (or need) to use bitcoin is laughable. It is delusional to believe that Bitcoin will be saved by people without access to running water. The people of the Third World have bigger concerns than a decentralised peer-to-peer electronic currency.β
β Robert Nielsen

βBitcoin, I think we can say, is dead. There is no traction, no one is using bitcoin. The bitcoin experiment, I think we can say, is over.β
β Taavet Hinrikus
$428

βBitcoin has no unique value at all. It doesn't produce anything. You can stare at it all day and no little Bitcoins come out or anything like that. It's a delusion, basically.β
β Warren Buffett
$3,826

βBitcoin ain't moneyβ
β Peter Schiff
$4,350

βBitcoin is nothing.β
β Andy Kessler
$33,120

βOne of the lures of bitcoin is the idea of taking power away from the people in power.β
β Avery Pennarun

βBitcoin just shows you how much demand for money laundering there is in the worldβ
β Larry Fink
$5,558

βI agree I would short it if there was an easy way to do it.β
β Bill Gates
$8,451

βI donβt 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.β
β Stephen Isaacs
$55,685

β#Bitcoin is an asset that is extremely volatile, susceptible to fraud, and highly uncertain. What could go wrong? Bitcoin is nothing more than a highly speculative asset with a fundamental value of ZERO.β
