Vanguard Throws Shade at BITCOIN… but Also Admits Its Hidden Power 👀
John Ameriks — Global Head of Quantitative Equity at Vanguard — just compared #Bitcoin to collectible toys, calling it a purely speculative asset. Harsh words from one of TradFi’s biggest players… but here’s where it gets interesting.
Even while criticizing it, Ameriks couldn’t ignore the truth: Bitcoin shines when fiat currencies don’t. When things get crazy with inflation, politics, or money systems, #BTC isn't just a game – it's like, essential. It's a global, borderless, censorship-proof way to store value that actually works in the real world.
This is the same pattern we’ve seen for years: First they dismiss it… Then they fight it… Then they accept its use case… And eventually, they adopt it.
