Popular economist takes a shot at Ethereum
You may have heard about an economist who managed to make a name for himself in crypto circles by bashing Bitcoin. Now, he’s taking a shot at Ethereum.
Nouriel Roubini says he thinks the smart contract platform’s “fundamental value” is zero.
Crypto-Apocalypse: Ethereum down 90% from the peak, in free fall and now close to the 2018 low. Still a long way from zero that is its fundamental value. Actually it is worth negative given all the toxic externalities of energy waste and pollution that its mining generates

People in the comments section don’t really agree with him.
Someone commented: “every day that goes by is another missed chance to sell in profit…. but if you watched it go 100x from your entry and then retrace 90%, you’ll likely hodl until capitulation in the single digits.”
Another follower posted this: “You cannot compare price behavior of markets established hundreds of years ago with a new technological revolution. Actually people who believe in this new technological revolution do not care much about pricing behavior.”
Someone else said: “Another apocalypse? You seem to call a new one every six to eight months. Your calls are actually correlated to price rebounds.”
