Economist and public policy analyst Jeffrey Sachs didn t mince his words last Sunday when asked for his thoughts on Bitcoin at a conference sponsored by Alma Mater Europaea university in Slovenia and the European Academy of Arts and Sciences, Fortune reports.
Speaking at the All About People: Digital Transformation in Science, Education, and Art conference, Sachs, an author and Columbia University professor, told an attendee that he was not a fan at all of Bitcoin. He added that the cryptocurrency is not a store of value, is not a medium of exchange and offers nothing of social value.
