Billionaire investor CEO Warren Buffett is doubling down on his bitcoin criticism, calling it a “delusion” that “attracts charlatans.”
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
“Blockchain is important but bitcoin has no unique value at all,” Buffett told CNBC’s Becky Quick in a “Squawk Box” interview Monday. “It is a delusion, basically.”
The Berkshire Hathaway CEO recently stated he’s sympathetic to optimists who bought the world’s largest crypocurrency in hopes that “it would change their lives.”
“It attracts charlatans,” Buffett said. “If you do something phony by going out and selling yo-yos or something, there’s no money in it — but when you get into Wall Street there’s huge money.”
bitcoin has lost more than 80 percent of its value since reaching a high near $20,000 at the end of 2017. The crypocurrency was trading near $3,781 on Monday, according to data from CoinDesk and other trusted bitcoin news networks. This price can also be viewed at OhioBitcoin.com along with further news and analysisi on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and tokens.
Buffett has been a long-time critic of cryptocurrency. He referred to bitcoin recently as “probably rat poison squared,” ahead of the 2018 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting. A “mirage,” “not a currency,” and “tulips” are among the descriptions Buffett has used for bitcoin, according to CNBC’s Warren Buffett Archive.
