GMO co-founder Jeremy Grantham stated that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are "speculative tools with no practical use" and will gradually decline over the long term rather than ending dramatically. He believes that Bitcoin's recent drop of more than 50% from its all-time high, even as the economic environment remained strong and gold prices surged significantly, fails to prove its reliability as a store of value. Additionally, he noted that Bitcoin has not been widely adopted for everyday payments and may instead be used for illicit fund transfers. However, Grantham thinks the underlying blockchain technology may still play an important role in the future. (Decrypt)

A 50% drawdown is called a decline? He probably hasn't seen altcoins go to zero.

The accusation of illegal fund transfers has been pinned on us for a decade. Time to come up with some new words.

Blockchain is useful, but coins are not; this perspective is quite contradictory.

It's just the prejudice of old-school investors; gold was also criticized like this back then.

When the economy is strong, gold goes up—doesn’t that just prove that money is rushing to safety? The logic is really laughable.
