(Back story: This guy is famous for in "2005 Roubini said home prices were riding a speculative wave that would soon sink the economy." Giving people loans they can't afford is obviously a bad idea.)<p>He said "literally every human being I met between Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2017" asked him if they should buy cryptocurrency.<p>Literally? Including babies and people who don't know you?<p>And that it's a bust "like you have not seen in any history of financial bubbles."<p>An asset going from $1,000 to $6,000 in year has never been seen?<p>And that "blockchain is the most over-hyped — and least useful — technology in human history".<p>Huh?<p>And blockchain "is nothing better than a glorified spreadsheet or database".<p>OK, kind of, but now I know he clearly has no idea how a trustless, decentralized network works.
