European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde has been a long-time critic of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), and reaffirmed her skepticism recently despite the asset’s growth over the years.

Lagarde Repeats Bitcoin Is ‘Worth Nothing’

Appearing on the College Leaders in Finance podcast on Oct. 5, Lagarde was reminded of the remarks she made about Bitcoin three years ago.
