They didn't change their minds when Bitcoin was $200.

Or $1,000.

Or $20,000.

Will they at $100k?

Famous quotes from Bitcoin critics in 2013/2014... {a thread}

1) “[Bitcoin] is a terrible store of value." Jamie Dimon, Jan 2014
2) “A Central Bank that is democratically controlled remains our best hope for a form of money that is for the people & by the people. Bitcoin...can never be that.” Yanis Varoufakis, former Greek Minister of Finance, Apr 2013. (2 yrs before Greece’s Debt Crisis & his resignation)
3) “Bitcoin is Evil.” Paul Krugman, Dec 2013

4) “It’s a bubble. It has to have intrinsic value. You have to really stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is.” Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve Chairman, Dec 2013
5) “The idea that [bitcoin] has some huge intrinsic value is just a joke in my view. Stay away from it. It’s a mirage, basically.” Warren Buffett, Mar 2014
6) “To me, it looks like a modern-day tulip mania. The reason people are buying bitcoins is because they think they’re going to make money…It’ll keep going up until it implodes. And a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money in bitcoins.” Peter Schiff, Nov 2013
7) “I predict that Bitcoin will trade for under $10 a share by the first half of 2014... Miners/speculators will be best served to acknowledge the meltdown has begun, act quickly and take fleeting profit off the table.” Prof Mark Williams, aka “Prof Bitcorn”, Dec 2013
8) "[Bitcoin] is worse than the tulip mania. At least then you got a tulip, now you get nothing.” Nout Wellink, former president of Dutch Central Bank, Dec 2013

Who am I missing?
