While Bitcoin is Bubble, Blockchain is a different – Donovan
UBS Chief Economist has recently written a blog post blasting on Bitcoin and also join CNBC’s fast money interview to talk about the same. He said Bitcoin “an evil bubble” and will never be a currency. The article claimed that the crypto designers are good at Bitcoin but appear to be poor at economics. He pointed out that the real value of a currency comes “aligning demand and supply”.
The underlying technology of blockchain, the distributed ledger system – that’s different. He went on pointing, “There’s an economic proposition there; again, there’s a certain amount of hype around it, but to go from that to ‘Bitcoin is going to replace the dollar’ is quite a leap.”
Donovan as Bitcoin cynic wrote that;
“I think anyone with a high school education in economics has been a Bitcoin skeptic right from the start,” adding, “These things were never going to be currencies, they’re not going to be currencies at any point in the future; they’re fatally flawed.”
Crypto enthusiasts react Donovan’s Claim
Following his claim, Twitter enthusiast went on denying and reacted assertively over the claim

It’s time to bury $UBS. The firm behind the bold call is down 41% in a golden bull market.
How embarrassing. I can’t even fathom how they performed so poorly.

I get such a kick out of the arrogance that these people speak with.
Show me how perfect your economic system is and how well a bank like UBS operates. https://t.co/lJ0kdtM6di
