  • Mark Cuban, previously a crypto evangelist, has become disillusioned, calling crypto 'disappointing' and saying Bitcoin has 'lost the plot.'
  • Cuban sold most of his Bitcoin, criticizing it as an ineffective hedge, especially compared to gold's recent performance.
  • He expressed less disappointment in Ethereum, the second-largest crypto, but dismissed smaller tokens and memecoins as 'garbage.'
  • Cuban's shift follows similar sentiment from Elon Musk, who noted that many cryptocurrencies are scams despite some having merit.
  • Bitcoin, often touted as digital gold, has underperformed gold over the past year, though it recently rallied after progress on the Clarity Act.
