A greater number of the crypto community members expressed their disagreement with the recent statement made by the American multinational investment bank and financial services company, Goldman Sachs Group.
In a statement made during Goldman Chief, David Solomon’s interview with Bloomberg. David revealed his company’s plan to launch its new cash management operations in the UK by September and the rest of Europe by the year.
While presenting, Goldman lectured about cash management and holding deposits as the biggest part of banking operations. The firm stated that any security that derives appreciation from someone’s willingness to pay a high price isn’t the best investment for its clients.
Goldman Sachs went further to say that though hedge funds are attracted to cryptocurrency based on high volatility, such a draw doesn’t translate crypto into a good investment tool, because it is full of uncertainty.
Goldman Sachs’ statement caused a lot of reactions among the crypto community on Twitter, one twitter user called Goldman Sachs’s theory “a propaganda statement.”
Another opined that cryptocurrencies like bitcoin have more potential for certainty than most financial institutions.
