Bitcoin’s potential as an emerging safe-haven alternative to gold raised its demand among institutional players in 2020. But a prominent economist is still skeptical about the cryptocurrency’s growth.<\/p>\n

David Rosenberg, the chief strategist at Toronto-based Rosenberg Research & Associates, said<\/a> in an interview with Bloomberg that Bitcoin is a “massive bubble.” He criticized the flagship cryptocurrency for having zero evidence about its “future supply curve,” noting that it’s nothing but an “extremely crowded” trade.<\/p>\n

“The one thing we know about gold, we know the supply curve of gold with certainty,” Mr. Rosemnberg explained. “We don\u2019t know the future supply curve of bitcoin, people think they know but they don\u2019t really know.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What Pumped Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

The statements appeared hours after Bitcoin established a new record high of $23,776<\/a> on Thursday following a breakout move above its psychological resistance of $20,000 a day before. The cryptocurrency caught global attention for its limited supply cap of 21 million tokens that gave it qualities of another scarce asset, gold.<\/p>\n

Enthusiasts projected Bitcoin as a hedge against inflationary fiat currency models that focused on unlimited money printing. After the US dollar fell by almost 12 percent in global foreign exchange markets, led by the US government’s $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief package, investors started taking Bitcoin’s anti-fiat narrative seriously.<\/p>\n

As a result, the cost to purchase one Bitcoin surged from $3,858 in March 2020 to as high as $23,776 on Thursday. That is a 516 percent pump. Many top analysts, including Scott Minerd, the CIO of Guggenheim Partners, projected BTC\/USD to hit $400,000.<\/p>\n
Mr. Rosenberg rubbished the grossly bullish call, explaining that it is challenging to value Bitcoin’s worth.<\/p>\n
