Recently, Roubini was speaking at the CC Forum 2019 in London, where he conceded that Bitcoin (BTC) is “a partial store of value.” Roubini made the concession while on a panel together with crypto industry figures such as Brock Pierce, Bobby Lee and Tone Vays.
Roubini said:
Maybe Bitcoin is a partial store of value but it’s not a unit of account, it’s not a means of payment, it’s not scalable, in spite of its rally earlier this year, it’s lost 60% in value since it’s peak, so I don’t see it going anywhere frankly.
