Would Benjamin Graham Invest in Bitcoin? Value Investing vs Cryptocurrency

Would the father of value investing ever buy Bitcoin?

In this episode of Intelligent Investment Today, we explore how the principles of legendary investor Benjamin Graham might apply to the modern world of cryptocurrency.

Long before digital assets existed, Graham established the foundations of value investing, teaching investors to focus on intrinsic value, thorough analysis, and the famous concept of the margin of safety. But how would those ideas hold up when applied to assets like Bitcoin and other digital currencies?

Using Graham’s famous definition of an investment from The Intelligent Investor, we examine three key questions:

• Can cryptocurrency be analysed in the same way as traditional investments?
 • Does crypto possess measurable intrinsic value?
 • Can investors realistically expect safety of principal and an adequate return?

Along the way, we explore Graham’s distinction between investment and speculation, his famous Mr Market analogy, and why disciplined investors focus on protecting capital above all else.

Whether you’re a long-term value investor, curious about Bitcoin, or simply trying to understand the difference between investing and speculation, this episode offers a timeless perspective on one of the most debated assets in modern finance.

• The three criteria that define a true investment
• Why intrinsic value matters in financial markets
