Why? Because it’s outperformed Berkshire, by a wide margin, since inception and he’s missed on it year-in, and year-out? Sour grapes old man babbling.

With bitcoin and most coins, I’m pretty sure the minute you connect you wallet to an account with your information, they can identify you and every purchase from that wallet. The marketers that figure this out have a treasure trove of profile and purchase history on anyone who uses crypto to pay for something or anything really.

Because he and every other big fish doesn’t want the average person to make money in bitcoin. It doesn’t help him.

Guys at his level control the markets and can swing it how ever they want as a group.

The level of money is never gonna be ok with people being able to retire early off bitcoin

What an odd forum to choose to announce to the world that you have no idea what a boomer is.

Warren buffet is not one.

I know the the first person I run to to get opinions on new technology is a 93 year old.

I like Buffet, but it's hard for me to imagine he can truly understand today's and tomorrow's technology.

He's more worried about pumping businesses like Coca-Cola. Diabetes, obesity, plastic pollution, corn syrup from subsidized farms that go heavy on the glyphosate, etc. You know, good business.

He's FOS about inheritance taxes, too.

I respect him, but he's not right about everything.

I honestly don't know that much about it, I was under the impression that is was more under the table bc of movies like the silk road thing. But like I said the bottom line to me is that it seems indifferent from a ponzi scheme, as long as more people are investing then it goes up, but there is no there there

That applies to anything bound to the law of supply and demand. Not the definition of a ponzi scheme.
