Widely known for being one of the best short-sellers, Left has been constantly questioning the worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum for a long time.

As the crypto market bears a long winter, many famous personalities have come forward to express their opinions on crypto. After Bill Gates, Andrew Left expressed his extreme views on crypto and NFTs.

At a conference, Left talked about the frauds in financial markets. When asked if he sees any potential in crypto, he called it a “complete fraud.”

Left tweeted, “To be clear, there is A LOT of Fraud in the world of Crypto and I believe that ETH or smart contracts have no place in the complex world we live in. BTC, has the collective conciseness of perceived value but also no utility. Hype and Fraud different things.”

Left’s company, Citron Research, has been publishing reports on companies’ shortcomings and later turned to focus on companies that are worth buying.

Or does he collectively hate the idea of people investing in crypto? Based on various reports, Left hasn’t shared much about his investments in crypto but his opinion on crypto shows he might have not bought any coins.
