Clickbait title that's mostly false. HN loves to hate Bitcoin though. I can't believe even newsweek can get to top with that garbage.

I don't really know what about it conveys clickbait. Gates and Buffett have gone on the record numerous times saying that they bet Bitcoin will fail long term. That said, HN does love to hate on Bitcoin. I find there's something cathartic about these weekly Bitcoin bashing threads.

I read the article and watched the included video. The headline does seem to suggest Buffet said something he did not say. The use of double quotes is confusing and potentially misleading.
I haven’t had my coffee yet but I don’t think Buffet himself even says the word “gold” in the included video.
