Sometimes it look weird when someone says negative things about you and then you did nothing or told negative back to him but he came back and say sorry. Weird but for me this is just a normal scenario after a prodigal son coming to his father and celebrated for his coming. Same goes to this man.and we should welcome him instead and celebrate because being part of the system proves that the bitcoin system is really a good system to rely on.

Not weirder I guess but more people are open to bitcoin. This guy as stated by the OP might not be accepting the existence of bitcoin before but seeing how it prosper of if he follows the trend then I bet he learned and say something about bitcoin. There is nothing wrong or weird in that because that is just a natural response to a close minded person.

Lol, he has been ranting against bitcoin for the longest time, if I'm not mistaken since 2014 and has been on the offensive attack.

But in the end, doesn't matter if you are pessimistic about bitcoin, if you continue with your stance and ego, just a matter of time before you are being left.

He was even voted as Bitcoin's drama queen in 2018:

So he was a hater before but now it seems that he recognized that bitcoin has potential and it can be a store of value. According to his statement it is like he acknowledge the bitcoin but he used the word  "maybe" so he is still not sure about in his statement. I think he said that word "maybe" in order to not eat his own words that he rant in the previous years. The only good thing is another wealthy person acknowledge the bitcoin unlike other billionaire like Warren Buffet who said that he will not be interested in Bitcoin in any circumstances.

This is a confession from a source who has tried to deepen and get to know bitcoin far, we all know, many world figures are currently analyzing the existence of bitcoin, from those who are trying to predict what bitcoin will do in the future, I think it's natural,  Almost all television media to digital media know that currently bitcoin is not only an asset, but also bitcoin is currently the best and most trusted digital currency in the world.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that is recognized for its prestige, only some people do not understand bitcoin but many people already know bitcoin and own it. I agree with your opinion that bitcoin is one of the best digital currencies because I am one of the many people who hold bitcoin.

What does he mean at least? Bitcoin is the best digital currency exist. If not then he should try to ask the bitcoin holders. I bet he could not do it one by one due to the fact that there are hundreda of thousand or more holding bitcoins and are mostly bitcoin enthusiast. I do believe bitcoin is one of the greatest technology being invented.

Maybe he just own only a partial amount of it (0.5 BTC I suppose). For sure they always have a rebuttal when they asked why the sudden turn of events lead him to think it that way.

I wonder if what he reads about bitcoin whitepaper on 2018 was different from this time or he'll call it next time a "God of all scams" when it turns bearish again because I assume he just been into FOMO or something how he gets into Bitcoin thing.

No wonder how trolls are performing their best anti-promotion to bitcoin. Experts have always saying about bitcoin. When it goes down, their speculations turn into FUD. When bitcoin goes up, they see its potential. They are blinding the people from what we want to see in bitcoin. Experts are just named entitled to those who acting like they knew already the environment of the field. But not all experts will say true because of what they see but because of how they will be benefited from what they said.

I was already expecting things like this to happen as time goes on. Most of them that rejected cryptocurrency did so because they didn’t understand it, but now they are starting to understand everything from the purpose to how it works, and they will value it now.

And there has been a trend for Bitcoin lately, it’s on everyone’s mouth, big companies are buying it and storing as part of their assets, and if a big company can buy it, then the big guys in these companies will also buy some personally and keep for themselves, and when they buy, they will also tell their friends who will pick interest.

Experts in classrooms they are scared Bitcoin is actually excavating their long held titles the centralised system had bestowed them, little how he speaks with both of his mouth. It actually exposes his lack of knowledge of how Bitcoin works, whenever Bitcoin rises/falls he brings a hypothesis to stay afloat in the news. His opinion doesn't generalise the whole idea of Bitcoin.
He might've filled his bags during all time when he was critisizing bitcoin when the price was low, maybe he's selling now and telling the opposite opinion.
If he is truly an "expert" as the the OP and the link he gave reference had called him, he could have bagged some amount of Bitcoin during the time it went low. I'm not surprised about people of his kind, they are institutional critiques with personal objective deceiving the populace. Bitcoin has stood the test of time, what more can he say now?

Well, possible.
The thing here is that, he is the only one who knows why he said such thing. We may think of negative things or that he just changed his claims but the bottomline is that he is the only one who knows how he meant that statement. What we should look forward for now is the market price behavior of the cryptos which are promising. Many people are now having their interest again in this technology and it could make the momentum going like a domino effect.

“It may be a partial store of value because unlike thousands others (what I call s***coins) it cannot be so easily debased because there is at least an algorithm that decides how much the supply of Bitcoin raises over time.”

Yeap. Though this dude's still calling Bitcoin "not centralized" and such, quite weird seeing dudes like him actually giving bitcoin at least a bit of recognition.

P.S. Sorry for the bad title. I'm just too baffled.


I would not take into consideration statements from such guys like this one or some other so-called "expert", it is only his personal opinion. And it does not depend wheather his opinion is negative or positive. You can be the expert no worse than him. 😁🙂 Too many people try to use the BTC in their posts and articles in order to attract the attention to their person and that is all. I think this man is not the exception. May be he needs high ratings or something else.

He did go on to say that he prefers the US Dollar to all other shitcoins - putting Bitcoin in that bag as well. He criticized Bitcoin for losing 60% value from its ATH. Why didn't he also say that the US Dollar has lost over 90% of its value since the Federal Reserves took control of it?
Oh man, it's hard to get out of the system and not love it when you know it's what brought you up to the top. This man loves money and loves what the Fed has done with it. These guys only wait for bearish Bitcoin runs so that they never come up with positive news about it, and people fall for that. Just think about it: your money gets devalued per year more than the interest your bank offers you for holding the money in your account, yet a lot of people still do that. Economy is a game for the smart.

the idiots are just transitioning from the "denial" phase to "oh-shit" phase where they realize that they have missed out on making bullshit statements about a phenomenon that has been growing for over a decade now as a strong decentralized currency. most of them just want to be seen and have some historical link to point to in the future to claim they were on the "ground-floor" when price was extremely low and they called it!
"much experts, such wow"

this is also why the statement is like this, so conservative. these people have no understanding of bitcoin, they are just gambling. if tomorrow this thing they don't even understand disappeared they aren't going to look bad by calling it "100% good" and if it kept growing they still didn't call it "100% bad" either.

Let him speak: now everybody feels totally entitled of commenting, judging and patronizing bitcoin.
 In the Italian board we have a specific thread on so-called Junk News: all the worst articles by journalists, scientists, politicians, economists etc. collected by the community.
It's so much fun to pick those who said shit about bitcoin in the past and now are trying to redeem themselves.

Nouriel Roubini also talked about Bitcoin being a "partial store of value" back in October of 2019.
That article is available here > https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-maybe-is-a-partial-store-of-value-concedes-nouriel-roubini

You see, this thing is only getting more suspicious the more economists and large names come out supporting Bitcoin out of nowhere, after years of hatred.

From Nouriel's Wikipedia page:
Quote
After receiving a BA in political economics at Bocconi University, Milan and a doctorate in international economics at Harvard University, he became an academic at Yale and a visiting researcher/advisor at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Federal Reserve, World Bank, and Bank of Israel
[..]
During the administration of President Bill Clinton, he was a senior economist for the Council of Economic Advisers, later moving to the United States Treasury Department as a senior adviser to Timothy Geithner, who was Treasury Secretary under Barack Obama.

He's been working with the big boys. What happened now, so that all of a sudden these guys are supporting BTC? It's a question that is really giving me a headache. I doubt they all just woke up randomly believing in it. Like come on, something must be up Huh

What the hell is a "partial store of value"?A financial asset IS a store of value,or it isn't.There's no "partial".

This is the way of telling "I was wrong until now, but I will not say it loudly yet"  Cheesy

Lmao pretty much. I could almost guarantee that if he wasn't actively shitting on Bitcoin throughout the years(let's be honest, he's spending so much time talking about bitcoin), he'd be a huge public bitcoin bull by now. Mr. Boomer probably just doesn't want to admit his mistake.
