Crypto Community Explodes as Top Analyst Calls Memecoin Investments Gambling
Justin Bons, the founder of Cyber Capital, has sparked a revolt in the crypto community by labeling investments in memecoins as gambling, sparking heated debates and several reactions from enthusiasts.
Crypto Community Reacts Strongly to Analyst’s Claim that Investing in Memecoin is a Gambling
Second CoinGapemembers of the crypto community on X were angered by Justin Bons’ recent comment regarding the correlation between gambling and memecoin investing.
The lead analyst and founder of Cyber Capital believes that people who trade memecoins should not be called investors.
Instead he stated that at most they are traders or gamblers. Bons clarified that investors typically engage in fundamental research to provide additional context to his statement. He stated that memecoins are memes by definition, as they lack fundamentals.
Bons advised his disciples to invest in the future from this perspective. However, the crypto community responded to his post with different opinions. Podcaster Hotep Jesus reminded the analyst that he was not allowed to alter the definition of the terms at his discretion. Bons asked User X if his recent use of the term “memecoin” was of concern Bitcoin (BTC) on Hotep Jesus’ program was the reason he responded to this post.
“It would be consistent with my perspective, as I do not invest in BTC, nor do I think it has good fundamentals,” the Cyber Capital founder said.
Some X users were further angered by his claim that Bitcoin is a memecoin. Another user asked about the type of assets Justin Bons invests in. Justin Bons said he allocates his funds in the decentralized finance (DeFi) and Layer 1 space. He noted that these are the offshoots of the industry that gave him logic.
The ongoing debate over the value of Bitcoin intensifies amid the surge in the Memecoin market
Meanwhile, there has been much discussion about the potential risks of Bitcoin and other digital assets. Warren Buffett, a billionaire investor known for his harsh condemnation of the cryptocurrency market and Bitcoin, reiterated his stance on the digital asset market about a year ago. Buffett called Bitcoin a “gambling chip,” saying the leading cryptocurrency has no intrinsic value.
Another group of individuals believes that Bitcoin has value to the extent that it is used as a hedge against inflation. In the past, Antonio Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital addressed anti-cryptocurrency entrepreneur Peter Schiff on Bitcoin’s ability to outpace inflation in the United States.
Memecoin has also performed well in the market. Dogwifhat, Shiba Inu, and Dogecoin have all seen substantial growth in the digital asset market.
