“Ignorant” means you don’t know a thing.
“Stupid” means you don’t know a thing you should know.

I’ll let the reader decide which one he is.

Yes he’s an idiot, but bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are really the way ahead for all of us.

You can’t counterfeit it like you can hard currencies. Yes you can manipulate a young market...that’s always the case.

Why I hope it catches on is that politicians can no longer run their ponzi schemes like Social Security by just printing more money. It’s kind of like going back to a gold standard.

Studies have shown that over 90% of the media's coverage of President Trump is negative.

...AND FAKE.

What an ass. In the article, he relates how Krugman didn’t know that Bitcoin was susceptible to “manipulation”.

Geez. I am a relative ignoramus about investing and currency, and I knew that when I first laid eyes on it.

Just wow.

He is the guy that someone would go up to in high school, point at his crotch and say “Hey Krugman...your underwear is on backwards!” and when he immediately looks down, swipe upwards with their finger to whack him under the nose.

Strictly speaking what Krugman published was opinion and not news. As for the accuracy of his opinion, well, there’s a reason why economist have successfully predicted thirteen of the last three recessions.

A Nobel Laureate in physics, or the other sciences is something worth respect. (So far, at least.)
A Nobel Laureate in any of the marshmallow social sh*tpits is worth, well, worth about one of Krugman’s forecasts, or worth one CNN evening broadcast.

I mean I can’t stand Krugman, but this article is weak sauce. It points out his election night market call, which was famously bad, but that’s not what the article is about.

His Bitcoin comment was perfectly reasonable. And the hysterical take on it in the article frankly makes Krugman look better.

Hi.

I’ll make a prediction according to the laws of probability.

One day Paul Krugman will get something right.

I’d like to be alive to see it.
