There are a lot of people hoping Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) will fail, and there are a lot of people guessing in what way will the cryptocurrency come to the end of its life, and Browder, while not a pessimist, believes that there are a few reasons which suggest that Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) will one day come to an end.
