  • 00:00Do you see any promise. As a growing number of investors do in Bitcoin or other forms of cryptocurrency what is the future value of of. The dividend stream of Bitcoin. I can tell you that that doesn't take a. A prize winning mathematician. It is nil. It will never pay you a dividend if you're desperate. Can you read it. No you can't. It's entire value is on the greater fool. Is it not. So Bitcoin could be worth a million dollars a unit if you can find someone to pay it. Bitcoin is 100 percent faith. And come the next. Market phase where faith is at. A minimum. What do we think will happen to a stock whose entire reason for existence is faith and nothing but safe.

Bitcoin, Based on Faith, Has ‘Nil’ Value, Grantham Says

  • Bloomberg Front Row

January 22nd, 2021, 4:34 PM GMT+0000

Jeremy Grantham, the GMO co-founder and chief investment strategist, is no Bitcoin believer. Here, he dismisses the cryptocurrency as an article of faith, a poor excuse, in his view, for a reliable investment because it produces no income. He spoke exclusively to Erik Schatzker on Bloomberg’s “Front Row.” (Source: Bloomberg)
