Hahaha. Assistant professor Gisle Hannemyr with the Institute of Information at the University of Oslo is another one who is willing to sacrifice whatever little reputation he got. To go down in history as one of the morons who predicted Internet was just a fad seems to be attractive for some people..I sort of feel sorry for him too. But if you go out in the media with your full name and say something this stupid - I'm sorry. You should seek a guardian or something to protect you from yourself.
But the fact that we pay taxes to keep lunatics like this old fart with a job is what provoces me the most. The fact that he's hillarious is just a bonus.
Let's see what this poor old demented excuse for a professor believes..

I'm confused about this phenomena, just like everyone else. I'm one of the people who thinks this looks like the tulip bubble
Wow..did you use your professor skills to think that unique thought? I mean..not only is it totally wrong to compare tulips to cryptos, it's actually retarded. Literally retarded. But he's got one thing right, and that's the fact that he's confused. A confused old man.
Hannemyr first read about Bitcoin in 2015, and quickly read up on it. He doesn't understand what gives it value.
Ok..to be clear. I'm qouting the norwegian newspaper article :D I shit you not. This is how retarded these people are. The journalist doesn't know anything about Cryptos, and the object interviews possibly knows even less. Obviously he was reading a little bit too quickly back in 2015.
You must be stupid to invest in it. Why is a computer that makes blockchains all of a sudden something magical that people are willing to pay 20,000 dollars for it? I don't get it.
Just..what was he a professor on again? RIght..IT..at least he's not a professor of Economy..That would actually be even MORE scary.
But here comes the best part. Remember, these are not the words of a drunken heroin-addict who' s been living under a rock the past 20 years. This is a professor of IT.
When the Internet came, it's utility were OBVIOUS, and no one doubted what it's utilities were, and that this would create big values. But I can't see any parallels with Blockchain technology.
Yup! Internet came with social media, messenger, integrated payment solutions, advanced 3d online computer games, Webshops, log in solutions for banks, insurance and basically every other service.
Everyone knew that all of this would come...uh...riight.
I mean. This is not satire. This is someone who's logic and understanding of pretty much everything has gone out the window. I'm literally shaking my head. My wife asked me why I was laughing out loud. What IS this? Is this a prank? In January? In Norway's biggest and most "serious" financial newspaper? The establishment has gone full retardation.
Stay retarded!
