The bearish take has riled up many members of the Bitcoin community. Some of them have started encouraging Macleod to follow through on his piece of advice.

Macleod, who started his career as a stockbroker at the London Stock Exchange in 1970, has long been a critic of Bitcoin. Back in 2023, the gold bug described it as "an outlet for speculation."
Meanwhile, Mike McGlone, Bloomberg's senior commodity strategist, has predicted Bitcoin could end up losing a zero.
