Bitcoin is similar to a vodka voucher drawn during the USSR period. Such a comparison was given by Yevgeny Yushchuk, a professor of the Faculty of World Economy and Finance of the Ural State University of Economics and a member of the International Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals SCIP, writes AIF-Ural.
“During the late Soviet Union, I worked as a doctor at the Institute of Tuberculosis, and my patients drew vodka vouchers with a pencil. They did it: they redeemed these coupons for real products. It seems to me that Bitcoin is something similar. You draw Bitcoin, say that it is money, and then change it to normal Shurafchiki, ”he said.
Yevgeny Yushchuk added that investing in cryptocurrency represents a big risk and compared digital assets with a bubble. In his opinion, any restrictions of regulators in this area are aimed at ensuring the safety of citizens.
“Imagine you went to the police, and they ask you:“ What was stolen from you at all? How to describe it? Is this property or some information? ”After all, this is essentially the same vodka voucher drawn on the windowsill, ” said Yushchuk.
However, representatives of the crypto community reacted to the opinion of the professor with a share of sarcasm.
“Whether the matter is reliable, provided by the state burnt deposits of Sberbank. They won't even change them for shurafchik vodka. Or, for example, a reliable and more modern ruble, in which in some years inflation exceeded 2500% is not a bubble at all. And finally, when another bank collapses with all your blood, the police are always ready to come to the rescue and return them, isn’t it? ”, Bitcoin-enthusiast Andrew the Great commented on Yushchuk’s comment.
Earlier, a member of the Executive Committee of the European Central Bank, Benoit Kerou, said that Bitcoin is "the devilish offspring of the financial crisis . "
