Nassim Taleb, famous investor and thinker of the financial market, returned to Twitter to talk about Bitcoin, but this time to speak ill of cryptocurrency. “I'm getting rid of my BTC. Because? A currency should never be more volatile than what you buy and sell with it ”, he tweeted this Friday afternoon (12th).

For Taleb, one cannot define the price of goods in bitcoin: “In this respect, it is a failure (at least for now)”.
He also said the coin was taken by Covid-19 deniers, who have amoeba sophistication.
After the comments, it didn't take long for the Lebanese mathematician to be questioned. User Ryan Peyman Tavakol, for example, wanted to know
on about bitcoin being seen as a store of value in the face of central bank irresponsibilities.
Taleb was short and thick: "It failed".
Another user, Yassine Elmandjra, then provoked him using a phrase from the book “Antifrágil”, written by Taleb himself: “You should read Antifrágil. Great book ”. And he used a phrase from the author: “There is no long-term stability without short-term volatility”.
Nassim Taleb and Bitcoin
A former trader and risk analyst, Nassim Taleb's work today concerns problems of randomness, probability and uncertainty focused on the financial market. Six months ago, he preached: "To sleep well, have some gold and Bitcoin". However, he warned, "but not too much".
In April last year, Taleb's reaction on Twitter also seemed to confirm his appreciation for bitcoin. "Use cryptocurrencies!" wrote. At the time, he criticized the confiscation of money by the Central Bank of Lebanon.
