Big Smile, No Teeth: What’s the buzz about bitcoin?


Is bitcoin the new gold? Or will we all look back at the whole crypto thing and think we were crazy to put so much value in a digital currency that was never going to be used? - AFP

“Buy bitcoin!” my friend told me way back in the spring of 2020. And of course, I laughed at him and proceeded to put my money in a savings account so it could earn 0.000000001% interest.

Of course, in that time bitcoin has hit all-time highs, although recently it’s fallen off again, leading sceptics to speculate that the cryptocurrency is heading for one of its dramatic crashes. A few years back bitcoin hit all-time highs and promptly lost most of its value before rebounding in 2020.
