Paul Krugman Likens Crypto Plunge with Subprime Mortgage Crisis

In his opinion piece published in The New York Times on Thursday, January 27, Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and a longtime crypto sceptic, compared the recent cryptocurrency crash with the subprime mortgage crisis of the 2000s. The famed economist said that there is evidence that the risks of cryptocurrency are falling on people who don’t know what they are getting into and are less well positioned to handle the disadvantages.
