Pure Ignorance

Friday Oct 13th Kevin O'Leary most commonly known as Mr. Wonderful from the popular TV show "Shark Tank" appeared on CNBC's squawk alley only to make complete fool of himself when commenting about bitcoin. Not only did O'Leary display a complete ignorance in blockchain technology by communicating his fears of bitcoins disappearing but the TV mogul took it a step further. In what can only be described as a blatant use of misinformation O'Leary claimed that he doesn't trust Bitcoin because "Nigeria is the top country in the world that trades Bitcoin. What are they doing with all of that Bitcoin?"

From someone who is actually a fan of Mr. Wonderful and the TV show "Shark Tank" it's very disappointing to realize how ignorant many of these "sharks" are.

Mark Cuban also known for his negative comments about Bitcoin in 2014 claiming he would never buy Bitcoin but maybe what comes "after Bitcoin" ... It's worth noting that the price of bitcoin has increased by over $5,200 USD per Bitcoin since his comments an almost 10x increase which far outperforms his entire current & historical portfolio.
