Johnson said that he could understand why gold and Pokémon cards have investment appeal but not Bitcoin, which he characterized as a scam.

Miners who treat their Bitcoin holdings as a working asset rather than a passive reserve “will carry a structural edge into the next halving,” says Wintermute.
