I've studied Warren Buffet for over thirty years. I love reading his annual investment letter. If you know anything about him you know about his refusal to invest in tech. Says he and Charlie Munger don't understand tech so they're not going to invest in it. He's best friends with Bill Gates but has refused to answer any tech questions even if they're about Microsoft.

So suddenly he's comfortable commenting on Bitcoin? I have a hard time taking his criticism seriously.

Mark Cuban bashed Bitcoin this week too. But Cuban owns Bitcoin and admits he's made money with it. While I disagree with his criticism at least he's making it with a bit of understanding. I think Warren Buffet is finally starting to lose it.

This asshole Warren Buffett has also bad mouthed tulips, yet I doubt he knows much about botany. Tulips are due for a comeback any day now.
