Financial strategist Michael Green has criticized Bitcoin, labeling it a "speculative monster" during his appearance on the New Era Finance Podcast. Green argued that Bitcoin has strayed from its intended purpose as an end-to-end payment system and now consumes excessive electricity without delivering scalable transaction volumes. He warned of the system's fragility and potential collapse, emphasizing its high cost relative to its utility. Green also addressed broader economic issues, highlighting the challenges faced by the younger generation in acquiring assets due to inflated prices driven by older generations' fears of an uncertain future. He criticized passive investment strategies for contributing to market volatility, describing them as creating a "thoughtless system." Additionally, Green noted the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market, reducing hiring rates for young people while increasing the value of experienced professionals.
