Álex Fernández acknowledges that bitcoin is very volatile, and also that certain aspects of its price formation are similar to those of a bubble. However, he argues, “it is transparent, decentralized and the decentralized finance system (DeFi) and its dissemination is what makes it difficult for it to explode, since it does not depend on any central body.”
