Grantham Predicts Bitcoin Will Slowly Fade to Zero
Billionaire Jeremy Grantham renewed his bitcoin skepticism, predicting the cryptocurrency will quietly die out over decades.
Jeremy Grantham is not done calling bitcoin worthless. The billionaire investor and bubble historian took another shot at the world's most popular cryptocurrency, predicting it will "dwindle away with a whimper" rather than crash in spectacular fashion. No dramatic implosion — just a slow, quiet death over decades.
Grantham has been a longtime bitcoin bear, and this latest salvo fits his broader worldview: assets without intrinsic value eventually go to zero. He's made his career spotting bubbles before they pop — tech in 2000, housing in 2008 — so traders shouldn't dismiss this as noise. When Grantham talks, it's worth listening, even if you disagree.

The real tradeable insight here isn't to panic-sell your sats. It's to understand the bear case clearly. If Grantham is right, the decay is slow — giving you time to reassess. If he's wrong, the upside remains intact. Either way, know what you own and why you own it. Conviction built on fundamentals beats blind faith or blind fear every time.
