Billionaire investor Mark Cuban has sold most of his bitcoin holdings after concluding that bitcoin did not perform as a hedge against a weakening dollar and geopolitical instability, particularly during the recent Iran conflict. Cuban noted that while gold prices surged amid these tensions, bitcoin's price fell, contradicting his previous belief that bitcoin was a superior version of gold. He expressed disappointment in bitcoin's performance but remains more optimistic about Ethereum, dismissing most other cryptocurrencies as "garbage." This shift highlights ongoing debates about bitcoin's role as "digital gold" and its effectiveness as a safe-haven asset during market turmoil.
