Профессор Нью-Йоркского университета, доктор. Дум говорит 99% Крипто — это мошенничество: инвесторам советуют «абсолютно держаться подальше»

NYU Professor Nouriel Roubini, aka Dr. Doom, has warned that “99.99% of crypto is a scam, a criminal activity, a total real-bubble Ponzi scheme that is going bust.” He advised investors to “absolutely stay away” from crypto, claiming that most people in the crypto space are “all crooks.”

Dr. Doom Warns Nearly 100% of Crypto Is a Scam

Economic professor Nouriel Roubini, aka Dr. Doom, warned about cryptocurrency in an interview with Yahoo Finance Live Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Швейцария.

Roubini is a professor of economics and international business at New York University (NYU) Stern School of Business. He also serves as chairman of Roubini Global Economics, a global macroeconomic and market strategy research firm that he co-founded. He told the news outlet:

Literally, 99.99% of crypto is a scam, a criminal activity, a total real-bubble Ponzi scheme that is going bust.

Dr. Doom also shared his opinion on the collapsed crypto exchange FTX and its disgraced founder Sam Bankman-Fried (СБФ). FTX filed for bankruptcy last November and SBF is currently facing several fraud charges, all of which he has pleaded not guilty к. “FTX and SBF are not an exception — they’re a rule,” Roubini exclaimed.

The NYU professor proceeded to advise against investing in cryptocurrencies. He stated that 99% of bitcoin investors did not buy BTC в $1,000 или $10,000. “Most of them got FOMO [страх пропустить] в 2021 when it was skyrocketing from $20,000 to … $69,000,” he stressed, emphasizing that 99% of bitcoin investors bought the cryptocurrency “well above the current market value.”

Roubini opined, “So they lost their shirts. It’s a nightmare.” Dr. Doom noted that bitcoin investors are not alone in losing money as other cryptocurrencies “have fallen by 90%, 95%.” He added: “Out of 20,000 ICOs [initial coin offerings], officially 80% were a scam and another 17% have gone to zero. So that means 97% of them … were either a scam or lost everything.”

Regarding crypto investing, Roubini advised:

You have to stay away. You have to absolutely stay away. And most of these people belong literally in jail — literally, they’re all crooks.

The NYU professor of economics has long been a vocal critic of cryptocurrencies, claiming that most crypto proponents are conmen. He called Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (Чехия) “a walking time bomb.”

В последнее время, the chairman of the U.S. Комиссия по ценным бумагам и биржам (SEC), Гэри Генслер, warned that most crypto tokens will fail, urging investors not to FOMO into this asset class. журналист Лаура Шин опубликовала статью, в которой утверждается, что, a former SEC enforcement official, John Reed Stark, cautioned that an SEC regulatory onslaught is just beginning.
