This is just another individual that, as he does not understand how Bitcoin works, decides to attack the crypto network and space. There are other critics such as Warren Buffett or Jamie Dimon that have also criticized Bitcoin and digital currencies.

During this year, Bitcoin was able to surge and reach the highest level in more than 8 months, becoming one of the best-performing assets this year. There is an increased interest in digital currencies from larger investors and other companies that helped the virtual currency reach $9,000 a few weeks ago.

According to Allianz, positions within the company can change, especially when looking from an insurance or asset management point of view. At the same time, they said that investors should decide for themselves whether they think Bitcoin and other virtual currencies are a predictable store of value.

There are other companies such as Fidelity Investments and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), that have been paying close attention to the crypto market and are now developing their own services and products for crypto enthusiasts and investors.
