MARK CUBAN: Bitcoin is a 'bubble'

in bitcoins •  7 years ago 

Add billionaire Mark Cuban to those who are skeptical of bitcoin and the cryptocurrency universe. "I think it's in a bubble. I just don't know when or how much it corrects. When everyone is bragging about how easy they are making $=bubble," Cuban said in a tweetstorm on Tuesday.

Cuban's tweetstorm comes on the heels of bitcoin's latest record high ( http://uk.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-price-soars-to-a-record-high-2017-6 ) near $2,900 a coin. The cryptocurrency has gained in 33 of the past 38 sessions, tacking on 144% over that time. It's up 200% so far in 2017.

Here's Cuban's full tweetstorm...

Anyone anywhere can buy a stock. #crypto is like gold. More religion than asset. Except of course gold makes nice jewelry. #crypto notsomuch https://twitter.com/criptomonedastv/status/872117212655628288

In many respects it is. But it can be immediately translated into assets. #crypto is valued in dollars for a reason https://twitter.com/bhoraticle/status/872119437872082944

@mcuban Would be willing to spare 15mins to come on @thebtcpodcast to discuss a little bit about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency?

@mcuban All past bubbles have 2 things in common: Geographical barriers and gatekeepers. #crypto is permissionless… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

@mcuban It's funny you don't think money itself is a religion

Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.

I wonder if he thinks the s&p 500 the nasdaq and bonds aren't bubbles ?

Bonds are definately in a bubble and S&P500 is debataable!

He may well be right. Bitcoin has been in many bubbles before but aslways survives. If bitcoin corrects and loses50% of its value, it will still be worth more than it was at the begining of the year (and I am convinced will probably recover before the end of 2017). You pay your money you take your chance.

Beautiful post
