Cryptocurrencyenthusiasts can’t fathomwhyBitcoinwill fail. If you tell them that you’re not investing in Bitcoin or other cryptos, they look at you like an uneducated investor, asheep following the crowdwithout thinking for yourself. The promise of Bitcoin is so great that you’d have to be an outright fool to deny it, and anyone who refutes the future golden age of a decentralized society is simply mistaken and is only coping with theoncoming collapse of fiat currency and Western civilization. The problem with that theory?None of it is grounded in reality.Today, BiggerPockets CEOScott Trenchis going to prove it. Afteryears of research on Bitcoin, theblockchain, and cryptocurrency as a whole, Scott has come to a simple conclusion:Bitcoin isn’t worth it. In fact, Bitcoin may be worth, unsurprisingly, nothing!

Scott will explainthe case for Bitcoinand whyits end goal is actually quite altruistic. However,five fatal flaws will stop Bitcoin from ever becoming a world reserve currencyor replacing fiat money. Besides its fatal flaws, Bitcoin isn’t a foolproof cryptocurrency by any means, and we’ll prove it! Finally, Scott gives hisBitcoin price predictionand his recommendation if you do want to hold some Satoshis. In This Episode We Cover The rational investor’s case against Bitcoinand why it’s NOT an investment Thereasons why Bitcoin could change societyfor the better (but probably won’t) Five fatal flaws of Bitcointhat will stop it from ever taking over fiat currency How adoptingBitcoin could lead to a crashing economywith no growth Theblockchain’s big problemsand proof that the world isn’t ready to adopt cryptocurrency Scott’s long-term Bitcoin price predictionthat will shock Bitcoin maximalists AndSoMuch More!
