Ugledni američki ekonomski katastrofičar Nouriel Roubini okrenuo se društvenoj mreži Twitter, gdje je i inače aktivan, kako bi "uništio" posljednju trunku povjerenja u posrnulu digitalnu valutu Bitcoin...
Dr. Nouriel Roubini, najpoznatiji po točnoj prognozi financijskog sloma svjetskog gospodarstva, na Twitteru je objavio seriju "tweetova" u kojima se okomio na virtualnu valutu Bitcoin ustvrdivši kako je riječ o najobičnijoj "ponzi" prijevari, valuti koja zapravo i nema vrijednost, a koja se koristi za financiranje kriminalnih i ilegalnih aktivnosti.
Što je sve Roubini rekao o Bitcoinu možete pogledati u nastavku:
Any retailer accepting BTC for payments is likely to convert them back right away into $/€/¥ as BTC price volatility implies huge mkt risk

Hacking of credit cards & bank accounts rare & customers fully repaid for it. Who is going to repay the $1bn BTC fraud at Mt.Gox? No one

So Bitcoin isn't a currency. It is btw a Ponzi game and a conduit for criminal/illegal activities. And it isn't safe given hacking of it.

Bitcoin isn't a store of value as little wealth is in Bitcoin and no assets in it. Also given price volatility it is a lousy store of value

Bitcoin is not a unit of account as no price of goods and services is set in Bitcoin unit nor it ever will. So it isn't a currency
