"Big Short" prototype: Cryptocurrency is one of the three great themes of this era

BlockBeats news, May 8, according to Bitcoin.com, Steve Eisman, the prototype of Mark Baum in the movie "The Big Short", said in an interview with Bloomberg TV, "There are three great themes in our time, namely artificial intelligence, everything related to infrastructure, and cryptocurrency. I believe in the first two, but I have reservations about the third."

Eisman raised a question about whether cryptocurrency can be considered currency. He pointed out that supporters of cryptocurrency often emphasize the shortcomings of fiat currency and describe Bitcoin as "digital gold." "That's the argument," Eisman commented. He then observed that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are "completely contrary to their own arguments," adding, "Its correlation with the Nasdaq is as high as 75%."
