The Interview With Ayesha Faridi | “Gold Is An Instrument Of Paranoia, Bitcoin Is Millennial Gold” NYU Stern Finance Professor Aswath Damodaran spoke with ET Now's Ayesha Faridi to unpack the psychology behind precious metal and cryptocurrency investments. Despite a sharp correction from its earlier peak, Damodaran explained that continued inflows into Indian gold ETFs stem from a fundamental lack of trust in governments, banks, and paper currency. While he considers gold a poor long-term investment, he acknowledges its utility as a short-term hedge for cautious portfolios. Furthermore, Damodaran labeled Bitcoin as "millennial gold," noting it lacks functionality as a real-world currency but serves the exact same psychological role for younger investors who view physical gold as old-fashioned.
