Like many with fancy credentials, he appears to have little practical knowledge. I feel sorry for anyone that took economics classes at Boston U, and I wonder how many other Bitcorns are out there in colleges, banks, credit card companies and Govt regulatory agencies.

A new low. Let the guy go, so he made a knee-jerk prediction that turned out to be wrong. Big deal. This tiny pitchfork persecution is making the Bitcoin community look ridiculously petty.

Economics is a form of indoctrination, the goal being for you to think within a particular narrow framework about the world and capitalism. It should come as no surprise that people with advanced training in Economics cannot think freely.

Economics is a colored lens through which these people see the world. The problem is that they have long since forgotten how to take the glasses off.

Case in point: Paul Krugman

Exactly!

It is only fair to expose his lack of competence. He is harmful to the economic well-being of others.

I really enjoyed reading the updated wikipedia paragraph.

ya.ya.yo!

Mark T. Williams, a contributor to Business Insider in December of 2013 and best known as Professor Bitcorn, painted a very grim future for bitcoin. One of his posts explained how bitcoin would crash to US$10 by mid-2014. This was by far the most ludicrous bitcoin price prediction the world has seen to date. While the value dropped quite a bit in 2014, it never got even close to the US$10 point by any means.

Mark T. Williams as in Mark Thomas Williams as in Tom Williams as in Tom Williams of MyBitcoin.com?

In 1993 he earned a Master of Business Administration from Boston University and joined the Federal Reserve Bank as an examiner in Boston and San Francisco.

Unlike other commodities cryptocurrencies have different system for prediction and its very hard to analyze. Predictions on bitcoins having to collapse or having a meltdown in value is unbelievable this days. That professor bitcorn have made itself a laughing stock with his poor predictions whose purpose I guess is to discourage users so they will have a panic selling. The only correct prediction that I will believe in was that the price of bitcoin will go up to $2000 or more this year.
