Wolf of Wall Street’ Jordan Belfort Claims Bitcoin Market Has ‘Run out of Fools

The ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ is saying “I told you so” about bitcoin prices’ recent retreat.

In a video shared on his Youtube channel, former stockbroker Jordan Belfort, infamously known as the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’, has claimed it’s the “beginning of the end” for bitcoin as the market has run out of fools. He believes the market has not “even crashed yet” but warned investors of an imminent meltdown where they could “lose all of their money.”

Belfort, who spoke about the “greater fools theory” in his video, which he believes is the main issue affecting the market, and will ultimately lead to its end. The Greater Fool theory is an investment theory which believes the price of a security can be justified by a rational buyer who “foolishly” believes someone else can pay a higher price for it irrespective of its intrinsic value. While hammering on Bitcoin not being a store of value, Belfort also compared the current dip in Bitcoin prices to the economic crisis of 2008 where investors were unable to find buyers for faulty mortgage-backed securities.
