Previously, Goldman Sachs estimates cryptocurrency alias crypto currency either sooner or later will experience the fall. In fact, the value of digital money is estimated to reach the lowest point at zero.
Goldman Sachs global investment research director Steve Strongin said that crypto-escalation has no "intrinsic value". According to him, it is unlikely that digital currencies will survive in the long run, as happened on "bubble internet in the late 1990s".
With many people who have taken advantage of the digital currency, the potential for depreciation must be taken into account. And because of the lack of intrinsic value, the unsustainable currency is likely to trade to zero.
Goldman's research came after a massive sell-off in the crypto market for the last few days, with its lowest point two days ago, bringing the valuation down to $ 550 billion. Bitcoin even slumped below $ 6,000 for the first time since November.
Strongin mentions this crypto period as an experiment and compares it with the bubble internet in the late 1990s. He said only a few existing companies could survive. Although Google and Amazon survive, their business forms are "very different".
