17 Oct Bitcoin ‘Maybe Is a Partial Store of Value,’ Concedes Nouriel Roubini

Roubini made the concession during a panel together with a host of high-profile crypto industry figures such as Brock Pierce, Bobby Lee and Tone Vays — during the CC Forum 2019 conference in London on Oct. 16.

“Maybe Bitcoin is a partial store of value but it’s not a unit of account, it’s not a means of payment, it’s not scalable […] in spite of its rally earlier this year, it’s lost 60% in value since it’s peak, so I don’t see it going anywhere…
