The US scientist Nouriel Roubini is known for his critical attitude towards the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. He is certain that the bubble will burst at some point and, as in 2018, the value will drop radically. In his opinion, the designation “currency” or “asset” is wrong, as Bitcoin offers neither income nor protection.

Tesla boss Elon Musk is currently the driving force behind the rise of the cryptocurrency and would also accept it as a means of payment in the future. According to the US scientist, it is best not for ordinary people to imitate automakers because they can afford to take the risk and possibly lose money. The crypto boom is a step backwards to bartering and the future of bitcoin is and remains uncertain.
