Morgan Stanley analyst James Faucette and his team sent a research note to clients a few days ago suggesting that the real value of bitcoin might be … $0.• Can Bitcoin be valued like a currency? No. There is no interest rate associated with Bitcoin.
• Like digital gold? Maybe. Does not have any intrinsic use like gold has in electronics or jewelry. But investors appear to be ascribing some value to it.
• Is it a payment network? Yes but it is tough to scale and does not charge a transaction fee.
• Bitcoin average daily trading volume of $3bn (last 30 days) vs $5.4 trillion in the FX market.
• Est. <$300mn in daily purchase volume vs. $17bn for Visa.
“Virtually no acceptance, and shrinking”
“If nobody accepts the technology for payment then the value would be 0.”
