He needs to get his facts right, too. He declared that there is no place you can borrow bitcoins to go short, for instance.

What is interesting about bitcoin is you have to actually find someone willing to lend you their coins in order to short and then pay them a fee to do so. (i.e. go to Bitfinex and borrow coins)

This is highly different from gold where they just create paper and sell that for free today.

Man that guy is unlistenable.  It takes him several minutes just to say price went down in 2014, then he compares it briefly to the price going up the year before, as if those two moves are comparable in magnitude.  Then he picks the dumbest explanation for the drop and proceeds to say that it is dumb.  Then I couldn't take anymore.

What is his dumb explanation for the drop?
