Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the author of "The Black Swan," took to Twitter on Wednesday to respond to accusations claiming that he had made an error in evaluating the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) market.

What Happened: The accusations stemmed from a tweet by another user who posted excerpts from an interview with Taleb, in which he allegedly admitted to making a mistake by going short on Bitcoin. 

However, Taleb defended himself by stating that his strategy was based on the passage of time, betting against Bitcoin from mid-2021 to late 2022.

In his tweet, Taleb stated that the critic shared certain traits with “antivaxxers” and “Covidopaths,” such as the inability to acknowledge the passage of time’s existence. 

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $30,106.61, up 0.52% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
