As far as I understand, by this statement he meant not only bitcoin, but all cryptocurrencies in general. I do not agree with him, in my opinion, the future belongs to cryptocurrencies. Sooner or later, paper money will disappear from circulation, or at least, its use will decrease significantly. Technology is the future.
As crypto enthusiasts, we can ignore him.
FYI, Warren Buffet is the 7th wealthiest person in the world. With his age and the types of industries he invested in, obviously, it will be hard for him to understand the value of Bitcoins (that's why his a Bitcoin hater). When he mentioned that
"you don't do anything with it except sell it to someone else" the statement is already wrong, for all we know even a piece of chewing gum that you sell for a single cent or a penny still has a value which made his statement incorrect because anything in this world regardless if it is physical or not and you are able to sell it that means it has a value which confutes his own words.
Anyway like OP said everyone is entitled to have their own opinion and be able to express it in his own way. Just ignore him he might just live during the stone age, IMO.
