John Bollinger’s Uncertain Outlook at Whether Bitcoin is Safe Haven Asset
While innumerable intellectuals keep on argueing whether Bitcoin (BTC) can be viewed as a store-of-value asset, John Bollinger, the innovator of the Bollinger Bands (BBs) indicator, as of late opined that it at last relies upon your perception.
Bollinger accepts that there is no surefire method for deciding the ‘safe-have-ness’ of a specific asset. If enough individuals that a specific asset is a support against worldwide economic vulnerability, it will most likely go about as one.
Per the many comments to my note on the safe-haven status, or lack there of, of Bitcoin. Safe-haven-ness is a matter of perception, not fact. If an asset is thought to be a safe haven, it is. The matter is entirely psychological.
