bitcoin’s Market Crash & Rebound Recently, the world closely watched what Bloomberg called the “great cryptocurrency crash of 2018.” bitcoin’s value sank as low as 82 percent lower than its highest value a year ago, […]
CNBC has continued its confused cryptocurrency coverage with the airing of fresh criticism of bitcoin Cash and praise of bitcoin itself.
Najarian Turns Spotlight On Centralized bitcoin Cash
In stark contrast to the network’s recent standard angle, which has seen the overly forward support of the bitcoin Cash altcoin and warnings about bitcoin, a recent edition of its Half Time Report witnessed a conspicuous U-turn.

CNBC recently hit the headlines when its Fast Money segment began publishing strongly-worded tweets about bitcoin Cash’s superiority, leading to between its staff and the altcoin’s executives.
Major proponent Roger Ver appeared twice on the network to plug bitcoin Cash and warn about bitcoin, and the Fast Money feed to publish material warding off potential bitcoin investors.
Najarian’s riposte thus marks a curious alternative perspective, something which in bitcoin circles.
In the same segment, ARK Investment Management founder and CEO Catherine Wood also bitcoin Cash as a reasonable alternative to BTC.
“Maybe it will do a hard fork, so it has both the store of value role and the means of exchange role,” she speculated.
The idea of bitcoin being both a currency and exchange instrument is beginning to find favor as a concept in more skeptical non-cryptocurrency circles this month.
Speaking on his own network, Business Insider CEO Henry Blodget the most popular virtual currency could “have a glorious future and change the world” even if prices were to dramatically deteriorate.
Having previously said bitcoin had “no intrinsic value,” Blodget did not discredit the idea that bitcoin could go as low as $100 and fulfil critics’ belief that its price this year has been an archetypal financial bubble.
