Lol...Your caption is hilarious. I had a good laugh viewing it. Well, I knew for sure that the old man and the other Bitcoin haters would be in the news once Bitcoin began to rise again. And here it is! Who can take a gander as to what regrets these men would be having now, not having bought Bitcoin early this year when the price was almost at floor level. However, truth remains that people always fight whatever they think threatens their happiness, (in this case business) and this is what WB et al are doing. They forget that from time to time there's always a paradigm shift. Bitcoin (cryptocurrency) is the present day paradigm shift in matters of finance. It's either they embrace Bitcoin or get crushed under its weight. It's that simple a fact.

Yeah, these centralized individuals are always against something that could set the population free from their shackles.

If that is the reason that he does not invest then I think that it is a reasonable thing to say, do not invest on what you don't know. He could learn about bitcoin though if that is the only reason. I think rats is not the appropriate word for capitalists, maybe pigs or leeches. If companies continues to invest in bitcoin then the day will come that bitcoin will be larger than any company, but I do not think that it will be that easy because there will be innovations that will revolutionize our current technology that might surpass bitcoin's worth.

People make mistakes, but Buffett will never admit it.

That's what we call "Sweet Revenge"! If Warren Buffet believed in bitcoin, he could have quadrupled his wealth by this time. But anyway, an 80+ years old man who has achieved so much in his life, can ignore few opportunities because he has nothing more to achieve! So in a way, he shouldn't regret his decision of not investing in bitcoin. But I am happy about the fact that he can see his own mistake of taking a stand against bitcoin. That's more important! In any way, number speaks the truth in business world and we all can see the numbers right now. So cheers and forgive the old man for his mischievous comments on bitcoin. 

Why would he even had to admit that he may have been wrong? He’s a rich old fart who can die at any moment given his age, and he doesn’t really care about Bitcoin now as much as he didn’t care in the past. His statements about Bitcoin are just the result of journalistic provocations that always try to use him for a new clickbait article - and one man's opinion is completely irrelevant no matter what his name is or how much money he has.

There are people who are even richer than Buffett, so no one asks what Bezos, Gates or Zuckerberg think about BTC - although no one should care what they think - everyone should turn on their brain and think with their head.

It’s amazing bitcoin recover from the heavy dump in just three years meanwhile internet stock take a lot longer, ether are doing insane too, it’s just launched in 2016, just four years it’s becoming a mega bluechip that can stand against most Silicon Valley, just FOUR years wow, I’m wondering erhereum is “rat poison” on steroids.

Warren buffet only invests in companies not commodities. e.g. he would say exactly the same about gold, silver, corn, orange concentrate, tin, potash or even Baltic sea index futures.

With this comments he means that cryptos are out of his investing universe because they do not have a balance, cash-flow, taxes, shares, etc... that his team can analyse. It does not mean that they are worthless.

Bitcoin is not generated by a company as he may understand the term, however there is a mining community, so arguably, WB could invest in a Bitcoin farm as he could potentially invest in a gold mining company as these are companies - not that any of this sound likely.


Believe me, WB is anything but irrelevant when it comes to big money.

Your comment is right in other matters, he personally could have Bitcoin, as he could have diamonds or gold or silver, but that would not be an "investment" from his point of view.

And yet Bitcoin's current bullrun is driven by institutional investors who interact with centralized platforms and might not even do a single onchain transaction ever. Perhaps Bitcoin will just get integrated in the current centralized system and people will be sending each other Bitcoin via PayPal or use "Bitcoin debit cards".

In the early days Internet was decentralized, free and full of opportunities, now we have majority of the Internet users mostly just visiting the websites of giant companies. Bitcoin might be following the same road - you could do p2p transactions, use Lightning Network, be your own bank - but most people won't.
