FYI: I collect a best of crypto quotes over at open blockchains, see https://github.com/openblockchains/crypto-quotes

To quote Nouriel Roubini, Economist:

No use ever, past, present and future for XRP and Ripple products... it is already flopping after spending a fortune and printing a huge amount of totally useless XRP. (Now the XRP army of Twitter trolls, bots, hired guns and zealots will attack again...)

OK, but you can find such quotes for everything. "We estimate the global demand to be about 3 computers" "nobody will need more than 16KB of memory" and so on.

(I'm not a fan of XRP, anyways)

afaik, Nouriel Roubini is a permabear. If your mental ML model predicts downfall all the time, you'd be right some time. Roubini has been bearish on stocks and BTC for a while now, which implies bullishness on USD, something I fail to understand given the rampant printing.

As much as a permabear he is, you can notice he's starting to change his tone on BTC overall as of late.

a broken clock is right twice a day, in his case he is right about once a decade.
