Roubini is a pure 100% turd

Hello steemians

So for those who know me, many of Y'all will know that I mind my business almost 100% of the time.

I mean, crypto matters outside of my zone and when I'm called upon rarely gets my attention, but mehn! Some people trouble a lot.

So if you're a member of the general crypto community on twitter, you would have realized and seen a dude nicknamed Dr doom aka Nouriel Roubini just going ballistic on crypto.

In the last week, he's decided to take on the whole crypto market, despite the fact that companies like Goldman each, JP Morgan, Blackrock and a host of heavy hedge funds and the likes have started taking a major interest in crypto.

Roubini is the classical hater in this sense.

So yesterday, I read an article about a possible debate between Roubini and Vitalik right?

Lemme drop a few screenshots.

The person willing to host the debate, he immediately attacks her for being biased and a pseudo-journalist.

Not done yet, Artur Hayes, the man behind bitmex offers to sponsor the debate and Roubini proceeds to totally insult Hayes as a fraud and a scam artist.

Alright, Vitalik then suggests a second moderator, someone who doesn't like Vitalik and is critical of him, what does Roubini do? Proceeds to insult him as well.

A nut case, at best, a smart investor

Now one of the common plays that we see in the world today is that investors will try to get in cheap on any asset they see as worthwhile and the best way to do that is to use their influence through the media to crash the prices down.

This was what happened in January with Facebook and Google totally going negative against crypto, all the while, investors and institutions like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs went heavy on blockchain and crypto, calling it a scam, it'll go to zero, blah blah blah.

Today, all these individual companies have blockchain departments and cryptocurrency desks!

Talk about being sly.

All the moves Roubini is playing today is simply a play on a bigger scale.

It's easy to see, I won't be surprised if 1 year from now, we see Roubini on the board of a popular crypto asset or being an adviser or an investor.

It's just freaking plain to see at this point.


The take away from this? Don't listen to their bullshi...they know what they are doing.

Sort:  

I tweeted him with proof that disproved his talking point of blockchain being unscalable. He ignored it and still tweets about how terrible it all is. He wouldn't worry about moderator bias in a debate if he is right about all he says.

Haha, at least he didn't block you, he's just the latest in the line of those who think they can make their name shine again via crypto.

Heck, any economist with a dying rep can come rejuvenate by slandering crypto....talk about being sly😄

Any news is good news for someone trying to make a bigger name for themselves. I think you are bang on with the end game for him. Mouthpiece for a crypto company.

Thanks mate! This issue, I argued with my pals over on WhatsApp, we have decided to ignore him and his rants, bigger fishes already tried and failed.
