Would you believe that a shoe maker knows more about fixing clothes than a tailor? Apparently, Bruce Richards of Marathon Asset Management would, as he, who doesn’t know what Bitcoin is, was seen on Bloomberg Television’s “Market Makers” explaining what Bitcoin is and how he feels about it.

After seeing the interview, it is clear that Bruce Richards doesn’t know much about Bitcoin. In fact, Richards deems Bitcoin as a fraud, and even a ponzi scheme. Besides spouting out biased and clearly wrong information about Bitcoin, Richards also does not seem to understand what a Ponzi scheme is.

Things morons call Bitcoin:

Ponzi - check
Tullip bulbs - check.
A fad - check

What an idiot. He really doesn't know what he's talking about. Clearly he's no economist. If Bitcoin is a Ponzi then so is the stock market.

I like the female hosts views though.

Actually avg ppl are deceived completely that hedge fund managers are some financial investment wizards..... They're not. Most of them have inside information on what sectors to invested in. Some even got "scammed" and burst.... however the risks are on their clients.

To me, those dickheads are just part of an "VIP" club that control this world. They use money to lobby politicians and make killing while avg persons are working as slaves.

Yeah, that guy comes off as just an ignorant tool.

He called it a fad, and a fraud, and a ponzi scheme, and said it won't have a place in history. He wasn't even wanting to address the idea of whether the concept of cryptocurrencies might be viable, and might survive Bitcoin. He just wanted to dog on Bitcoin and disparage it as much as possible. In his mind, it's less than used toilet paper.

I'm betting not only did the guy make it to where he is through social connections rather than real skill or talent, but that he's incapable of programming a VCR without assistance.

ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)

The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

Is it just me, or is this guy drunk? He's having a hard time with words, his eyes look bloodshot, red cheeks, etc. His tie isn't even on right, lol. And people give him money to invest?

He just doesn't know what he's talking about so finds it difficult to bullshit articulately without just lazily slandering it by comparing it to a ponzi or tulip bulbs etc.

Indeed it is not.

Someone thought it best to salvage the guy's reputation.
