That's a big blanket statement that it will end badly. Sure people will realize that most of the altcoins are a scam, but Bitcoin, Ethereum & few others will survive.

An FX trader saying Bitcoin is gonna die? right, he's not biased at all. Isn't it very obvious that anyone in the current financial world(Traders/FX brokers) doesn't like cryptocurrencies? Why does Bloomberg even have to

Hey Rich! The graphics are on point for this article. I really liked the unfading faces at the start. Also, the times should put a tip jar on these kinds of articles, I'm not an avid reader to subscribe, but would want to appreciate an

That'd work in an ideal world, not here. In a 2 party system which are increasingly polarizing you'd have the pressure to stick to the party line.

A rich investor is complaining about how people are not working to their death so that his portfolio companies do better and get him more returns? Give me a break. Why do we even have to have a discussion when all he complains about is how

I don't think we can call it at the moment. But one more bull run and 50 million more across the world will definitely get Bitcoin there. There's a lot of venture money coming in and new hedge funds popping up.

On the contrary I think we will see the ATH again soon. Apparently no one knows what's going to happen, but there's just too much people, money, hash power and ecosystem for this to go bust.

You would call it an investment, if the USD-YEN prices are so volatile and give you 1000X profit in 6 months. Again, this all goes back to whether Bitcoin is a store of value or a medium of exchange. By now it's very clear, it can&#x27

The last time China explicitly banned Bitcoin, it dropped by around 45% to around $6000. It went on to $20K from there. But what's different this time is that there are first time investors in millions who joined in the last 2 months.

They should not have used the similar name in the first place during the fork and the aggressive marketing on CNBC about bcash as the original Bitcoin added more confusion to the people and as I see the systems too. Though Anecdotal, none I
