Businessman, investor and television personality Marcus Lemonis is known for his ability to take struggling businesses and turn them around in return for an ownership stake. However, to Lemonis, Bitcoin is simply beyond repair.
The intangibleness of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general can’t supplant fiat money, according to Lemonis.
“Nothing replaces good old-fashioned cash,” said Lemonis, “I don’t know much about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. I like good, old American cash. I like it in my pocket and I like it in the bank.”
