I am laughing so hard, ahhh what a scam nobel prize

[cuttinstones]

In other news, Putin wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

[rjdebruyn]

WTF? He should be in prison for implementing the stupid policy his research allowed this Nobel prize is awarded for. I’ve lost some respect for the Nobel committee. May as well give Putin the Nobel Peace Prize for not using nuclear weapons.

[joshrickards]

That's the same as giving Joe Biden "Speaker of the year" award 🤨

[AH-fmrj]

Shouldn't our current situation and the financial mess of the last 15 years be enough to debunk his theory? 😅

[danielasophia]

Thanks for the insight, but I'm still confused why Bitcoin and crypto prices keep dropping? This drop follows a number of other significant drops in recent weeks. I still hold enormous value of cryptos and it scares me. Whats your take on this?

[jeffmoberley]

Nobel Prize is quickly becoming as meritorious as a Darwin Award.

[tedgunderson]

If the Nobel wasn’t already a joke this would have done it in

If you have been closely watching the financial markets crypto even forex or you invested in it, chances are that you are wondering whether the latest bear cycle is over. The truth is that the market remains unpredictable especially in the long-term. We just have to watch and see how it goes and this is why working with hedge funds companies is important because you have to go with the market makers. Pennant company is the best I've seen around because they always deliver and profits guaranteed.

So that's what happens when you bail out banks that are "too big to fail" using taxpayer money.

[genxerfool]

They might as well give a prize for fairy studies.

[StarFox_SNES]

Guy couldn’t see the Housing Bubble while in the middle of the Housing Bubble! Give the man a prize!

[thechase-secondchance]

It's relative. Against the backdrop of this current iteration of the FED, my neighbor's 7 year old running a lemonade stand would be in the running.

[newerfor]

Noble should have a new prize, Nobel troll prize

[OhRickyButlerSays]

You gotta be kidding me, this world is upside down. Dude should be in jail

[reubenhandel]

Lol
The guy who's policy lead to the largest debt in all of history gets an economics prize

[petegww]

Quanitative easing is what he just got a reward for, blowing the American debt out from nearly zero to 31 trillion dollars ... this is an insane spit in the face of the average American

[toddjohnson]

Print money from debt on the taxpayer and give it to the taxpayer= Nobel Prize in economics. OH, and give it to banks.

[letsgobrandon]

Historic inflation and we are giving out awards for it? No participate award for recession.

[MIKESTREED]

What a joke. Man literally caused the economic pain we are facing and he gets a 🤡 prize.
