According to Odaily, Nobel Prize-winning economist Eugene F. Fama, often referred to as the 'Father of Modern Finance,' has predicted that Bitcoin could become worthless within the next decade. Speaking on the Capitalisn't podcast, Fama expressed skepticism about the sustainability of blockchain-based financial systems, citing the excessive computational power they require. He argued that cryptocurrencies violate fundamental principles of a medium of exchange due to their extreme value volatility. Additionally, Fama questioned Bitcoin's status as 'digital gold,' suggesting that without practical applications, it holds no intrinsic value.
