Singing Bearish on Bitcoin for Ten Years! Are there really such eccentric experts abroad?
There are always these figures online, inexplicably having a secure voice channel in the media, garnering huge attention, but often becoming the laughingstock of the internet for making extreme and strange statements. For example, the classic quote from the well-known domestic professor Lang Xianping, 'I wouldn't even want 100 BTC if you gave them to me for free!'
There is an economist in the United States named Nouriel Roubini, who predicted last month that the U.S. economy would stagnate as soon as Trump took office. He often claims that economies somewhere will collapse and be out of control, earning him the nickname 'Dr. Doom'. His vocabulary is probably limited, and 'collapse' might be his favorite word.
He also has another famous statement, which is that he has been bearish on Bitcoin for ten years, from when Bitcoin was a few hundred dollars all the way down to nearly one hundred thousand dollars today.
Every time Bitcoin drops, he smugly claims that his judgment has never been wrong, waiting for a crash, insisting that Bitcoin will eventually go to zero. But after a while, when Bitcoin rises again, he will avoid talking about this issue and start loudly discussing other topics, such as how Trump will cause stagnation. This is very similar to Professor Lang, as Roubini keeps being wrong, yet it does not affect his status as a media darling at all. Every time he publishes an article, not only do mainstream media outlets publish it, but it is often translated into various languages and circulated, and he frequently attends various summit forums to give reports.
