RE: Warren Buffett Calls Bitcoin "A Joke" As US Population Systematically Impoverished - Record 30% Of Adults Living With Roommate
I was just thinking how instead of it freaking me out, instead of me saying... oh wow, i must be about to lose my shirt, Warren is a self made millionare, who am I? Im thinking the exact opposite... as you pointed out, people in their position, the Warrens of the world see bitcoin as something they don't want to understand, because it doesn't fit their worldview, so their opinion is quite irrelevant... specially if we are asking him for his thoughts on the worth of crypto assets.
If i was to walk up to the Dalai Lama and ask him to explain to me blockchain, he would stare back like a confused puppy... does that mean he is an idiot? of course not... I'm the one who made a mistake by asking him.
I think that happens with Warren a lot, many reporters and writers ask him questions as if he is the "spiritual money leader" it might be because as americans we seem to worship money, and equate wealth with intelligence and ethical behavior, but of course this is far from the truth.
We would be wise to not ask the apple tree for oranges, it's a waste of our time.

Incidentally, he's also a weak government leader. A pacifist can't run a national government with hostile neighbors.

They need the clickbait.
