The entire investing class is dismissively negative on cryptocurrency. It's like Irving Fisher saying "stocks have reached a permanently high plateau" on October 16, 1929. The Dow dropped 11% on the 24th, another 13 on the 28th and another 12 on the 29th.

Cryptocurrency is outside their experience and as a class, they are not an imaginative bunch. Also keep in mind that anybody who uses algebra is a "quant" and their arcane use of math makes them untrustworthy warlocks.
