The Three Horsemen Of The Bitcoin Apocalypse

• zerohedge.com By Michael Kern

It's all been said before. "It has no intrinsic value," "it's used by criminals," "it will be regulated," "it will fall to $0."

And media outlets are happy to share these opinions, with doom-and-gloom headlines to add fuel to the fire.

The Three Horsemen of the Bitcoin Apocalypse

On July 10th, Joseph Stiglitz, Nouriel Roubini and Kenneth Rogoff looked to breathe fresh air into their campaign against the cryptocurrency citing once again the lack of intrinsic value, anonymity and regulation. They even offered a shocking 10-year price prediction - $100.

In the interview with Financial News, Nobel-Prize winning Stiglitz noted: "You cannot have a means of payment that is based on secrecy when you're trying to create a transparent banking system."

While the irony may be palatable for many in the crypto-community, it's not as though Stiglitz is completely clueless in the world of policy or economics. Though he has taken a controversial stance on many issues, from globalization to the Eurozone, he has at least expressed respectable and well researched opinions on these matters.
