Two ECB Officials Assert That Bitcoin’s “Fair Value” is Nil

Two officials from the European Central Bank (ECB) are reinforcing their disapproval of Bitcoin, asserting that its “fair value” stands at zero, even in light of the recent price increase and the authorization of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States.
Bitcoin has not succeeded in becoming a global decentralized digital currency, instead succumbing to fraud and manipulation.
The recent ETF approval does not alter the reality that Bitcoin is expensive, slow, and impractical, contends #TheECBBloghttps://t.co/e9Ek01Dism pic.twitter.com/ddBFsv4g0w

Ulrich Bindseil and Jürgen Schaaf, in a blog entry, regard these developments as insignificant and reaffirm their long-standing position that Bitcoin’s “fair value remains zero.”

Their doubts persist despite the success of Bitcoin ETFs, which have garnered over $3 billion in net inflows and sparked speculation regarding an Ethereum ETF.
They contend that the excitement is unwarranted and that Bitcoin’s present price and market capitalization merely reflect the “social damage” anticipated when the bubble bursts.
This is not the first occasion Bindseil and Schaaf have expressed their apprehensions about Bitcoin.
In November 2022, they stated it was on the “road to irrelevance,” pointing to slow and costly transactions, inadequate investment traits, and environmental issues linked to mining.
They also criticize Bitcoin for its purported history of price manipulation and fraud. Bitcoin has risen nearly 200% since their blog entry was published.
Their recent blog post has elicited strong reactions on Crypto Twitter, with some users showing skepticism and others participating in intense discussions.
