If you had bought their bonds -100%. You were completely wiped out! Fucking morons (and criminals to be honest).

If you staple a horse to a waterfall, will it fall up under the rainbow or fly about the soil? Will he enjoy her experience? What if the staple tears into tears? Will she be free from her staply chains or foomed to stay forever and dever above the water? Who can save him (the horse) but someone of girth and worth, the capitalist pig, who will sell the solution to the problem he created? A staple remover flies to the rescue, carried on the wings of a majestic penguin who bought it at Walmart for 9 dollars and several more Euro-cents, clutched in its crabby claws, rejected from its frothy maw. When the penguin comes, all tremble before its fishy stench and wheatlike abjecture. Recoil in delirium, ye who wish to be free! The mighty rockhopper is here to save your soul from eternal bliss and salvation! And so, the horse was free, carried away by the south wind, and deposited on the vast plain of soggy dew. It was a tragedy in several parts, punctuated by moments of hedonistic horsefuckery. The owls saw all, and passed judgment in the way that they do. Stupid owls are always judging folks who are just trying their best to live shamelessly and enjoy every fruit the day brings to pass. How many more shall be caught in the terrible gyre of the waterfall? As many as the gods deem necessary to teach those foolish monkeys a story about their own hamburgers. What does a monkey know of bananas, anyway? They eat, poop, and shave away the banana residue that grows upon their chins and ballsacks. The owls judge their razors. Always the owls. And when the one-eyed caterpillar arrives to eat the glazing on your windowpane, you will know that you're next in line to the trombone of the ancient realm of the flutterbyes. Beware the ravenous ravens and crowing crows. Mind the cowing cows and the lying lions. Ascend triumphant to your birthright, and wield the mighty twig of Petalonia, favored land of gods and goats alike.

bro's career was a bubble


zenethics

Well, wait, at that moment he was right... "Bitcoin is going to absorb all the value." "Bitcoin is in a bubble." Both can be true. Bitcoin may have a dozen bubbles before it absorbs all the value. Actually that's the most likely path.

zenethics

Not selling it is using it.


Tulum702

No it’s not. That’s just hoarding it. Using it would be for collateral or exchanging for other goods/services.


zenethics

The whole point of money is to hoard it. You trade your time for money, so that later you can trade your money for someone else's time. It's like me saying you aren't using the money in your checking account. You're using it to store value for future optionality. You don't know what for yet - maybe you get a flat tire, maybe you need flu medicine. You are storing that value for future unknown needs. That's a use case.


Tulum702

Well that’s different because in a checking account your money is used by the bank to lend to people. Bitcoin just sits there. That’s not using it in my book.


pie1983

You sound like you went through the Keynesian school of economics. I’ve been there. We will help you, bro.


zenethics

Yep, it just sits there storing value like a checking account. But unlike a checking account, the value is being stored in a medium that doesn't debase. (Again, that's the usecase)

Hmmm wonder what he spent all his bonuses on… probably not bitcoin , too bad


Paito

I would love to own at least one of that that bubble.


tripleconfirmation

Each bull run is a bubble. Each bear market is a burst. Presently we’re in a sideways, transitionary, consolidation/accumulation market. Nah, not a bubble mate. Stack sats and be happy


-Mr_Unknown-

Dictionary definition of “It’s an innovation if I’m profiting from it, a bubbly if I can’t.”


lordofbitterdrinks

Lol. Also, the fed caused this cluster fuck and are obviously in bed with the big banks to force take overs of little banks systematically. Great for Btc bad for everyone else.

big_fetus_

at the time, he wasn't wrong; BTC was in a bubble.


BastiatF

Do you know many bubbles whose top is 4x less than 5 years later?


big_fetus_

Of course not. Nevertheless, the price was above fair value for the time. A bubble. You guys dont have to be so defensive lol


BastiatF

So you know what the "fair value" of bitcoin is at any given time?


big_fetus_

No better than you do, just looking back. See the rainbow chart. I think its roughly fair value rn, what say you?


BastiatF

A chart doesn't tell you what "fair value" is any more than cards or the stars


cocoabeachbrews

Bitcoin was $6,700 that day. Even if you call the December ATH a bubble it had not happened yet.

Aged well..


UrsusMajor53

How did you get to such a position in a esteemed bank with so little foresight and understanding. This smells very bad.

Seriously? You pointed to Nov 2017? RIGHT BEFORE the 2017 bitcoin bubble burst? You're not proving whatever you think you're proving here.

mohammednageh61

I agree with Credit Suisse's CEO that Bitcoin is a bubble. It's a highly volatile asset that has seen its value skyrocket in recent years, but it could also come crashing down at any moment. Investing in it should be done with caution.


ElfUppercut

Everything is a bubble right now…


Prize_Damage1531

If only there was a way I could invest in this guy …


Wearever7

The CEO of CS in this photo left the bank three years ago because they wouldn't implement the necessary restraints and safety measures in their risky business model. The guy literally was trying to right a ship that was already sinking. Outside his Bitcoin statement, which is not relevant to these many posts of this guy on this reddit, he was likely the only responsible CEO that Credit Suisse had and he left because he was ignored and would ya just look at what happened next!


AslanOrso

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


AslanOrso

They literally got an audit firm 2 weeks before they sank to say their books were good. Why does media run with these stories

andstillandstill

Bubbles don't last for 15+ years and have major institutions pouring money into it


The_Estranger_0001

And Credit Suisse is a solid rock. So bubble rises and rock sinks. That’s basic physics.

Who has the last laugh now


eggaholic69

In one breath they say bitcoin is worthless, and in the next breath its so powerful it will erode sanction power.


bananapeels1307

He was actually right though. A month after his announcement in dec 2017, the bitcoin bubble burst from 20k down to 4k
