People Trust Cryptocurrencies over Gold, Says Wall Street 'Dean of Valuation'

Cryptocurrencies are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to gold for people who don't trust traditional fiat currencies, according to Aswath Damodaran, a professor of finance at the NYU's Stern School of Business.
A specialist in corporate finance and equity valuation, Damodaran is often cited by media as the "Dean of Valuation" on Wall Street.
It's against this backdrop that the finance expert recently remarked that cryptocurrencies could eventually replace gold or emerge as an alternative to legal currencies issued by central authorities.
"If you don't trust paper currency, historically what you've done is you dumped paper currencies [and] you bought gold," he said in the interview.
Damodaran told CNBC:
Prieš pustrečio tūkstančio metų auksas pakeitė mūsų gintarą.
Štai prūsai dar 1075-ais auksą ir sidabrą laikę už nieką.
Nuo gintaro iki bitcoin'o.
