ECB Economists Critique Bitcoin: Is It Truly Worthless and a Threat to Democracy?

Read Original

This article examines a controversial paper by ECB economists Ulrich Bindseil and Jürgen Schaaf, which argues Bitcoin is a purely speculative asset with no productive value, leading to harmful wealth redistribution and a potential threat to democracy. The author, identifying as a curious economist, presents the ECB's key arguments and then provides a detailed rebuttal, challenging the assumption that Bitcoin's value is solely based on speculation and the 'greater fool theory'.
