Jorge Stolfi Compares Bitcoin with Ponzi and Penny Stocks

A Brazilian professor is receiving flacks from the Bitcoin community for comparing the digital currency with Ponzi schemes and penny stocks.

Jorge Stolfi, professor at State University of Campinas, and a staunch Bitcoin critic, said in an ETF filing that Bitcoin is a “speculative trading asset, and the value of which is “based on expectations of traders”. He went on saying that Bitcoin should be regulated the same way a Ponzi fund or a Penny stock is regulated.
