Jeremy Grantham, a billionaire investor and representative of GMO, has dismissed Bitcoin as a 'useless, speculative mechanism.' Grantham claims the cryptocurrency has no practical use and expects it to quietly disappear over the coming years and decades. Coverage from CNBC, Decrypt, Bitcoin Magazine, and Mint emphasizes Grantham's view that the asset will fade into irrelevance, with Mint noting these comments coincide with Bitcoin slipping below $60,000.
