Denmark’s top central banker has now issued a stern warning to speculators to avoid bitcoin.
Lars Rohde, governor of the National Bank of Denmark, told local broadcaster DR that bitcoin was a dangerous bubble, comparing it to the tulip bulb mania of the 17th Century.
Rohde declared that putting money into bitcoin was basically gambling, warning:
“You have to stay away [from bitcoin]. It is dangerous.
Rohde also warned that people buying bitcoin shouldn’t blame regulators if they suffer losses when the market crashes.
He says:
“It is not a regulated market. It is not the responsibility of the authorities. It is the responsibility of the individual.”
