🔴 Grantham Slams Bitcoin as 'Useless' Amidst Price Plunge and ETF Outflows
Jeremy Grantham, the famed bubble-spotter, just reiterated his call that Bitcoin is a 'useless, speculative mechanism' set to 'dwindle away with a whimper.' He sees no intrinsic value, claiming it only facilitates fraud and will eventually fall to zero, not with a bang but a slow fade. Grantham’s critique lands as Bitcoin grapples with a severe drawdown, shedding over 50% from its ATH, currently testing critical support zones. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen four consecutive days of net outflows totaling over $113 million, adding to the bearish sentiment. Macro fears are also at play, with hawkish Fed signals and geopolitical tensions spooking risk assets and pushing inflation concerns higher. Despite the gloom, some billionaires are doubling down, like Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who has 70% of his portfolio in BTC, viewing it as a superior store of value to fiat and gold.
📊 Continued bearish pressure on BTC and potentially ETH as negative sentiment from a prominent voice like Grantham could deter institutional inflows and trigger further retail capitulation, especially if ETF outflows persist. Alts likely to follow BTC's lead downwards.
Is Grantham's 'whimper' prediction or Salinas's 'asymmetrical bet' the future for Bitcoin? 👇
