Some of the key people disregarding bitcoin and who call bitcoin a bubble
Bitcoin has been witnessed as one of the most successful cryptocurrencies to date. Bitcoin’s success can be attributed to the fact that a large population of people believes that it can be used as a currency. Basically, anything which has value, actually has it, due to the reason that people believe that it has value. If the people don’t believe, then no centralized organization can force us to consider it as a currency. It’s the voluntary decision and belief of a person which makes any particular commodity valuable. Bitcoin has a huge fan following due to the reason that it is not centralized. After the 2008 economic crisis which the world experienced, the citizens had left hopes from the centralized financial authorities and amidst this, when a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin came into existence people couldn’t resist its adoption.
However, on the other hand, due to its increased adoption, a number of financial experts even speculate its functioning and are of the opinion that Bitcoin is nothing but a Bubble which might burst anytime, similar to the economic crisis which occurred in 2008.
