Warren Buffett: Bitcoin Is An Asset That Creates Nothing | CNBC

[joy-lw]

I value your perspective and content.Bitcoin is on its way to breaking records, getting closer to hitting new high prices, showing that it's gaining more value and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general...managed to grow a nest egg of around 7.2Biitcoin to a decent 26.4Biitcoin. At the heart of this evolution is Craig Reeder, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. His holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make him an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment....

If you were offended by this, that means your emotionally attached to your investment. No matter what the underlying security is, That is always a bad sign.

Anyone else seeing the insane amount of bots in the comments lmaoo

What I still find odd about bitcoin is that people buy and hold bitcoin as if it is a stock. It was not designed to be a stock, but rather it was designed to be a decentralized cryptocurrency. If people hold onto bitcoin only because they believe it will rise in value, then it defeats the whole purpose of bitcoin.

[cezargarcia]

Why is Bitcoin being traded in the stock market? Isn't it supposed to be a decentralized currency? Who can use it if is worth $20k to have one Bitcoin and going up day by day. The point of exchange is so volatile that I think we just trashed the whole purpose of this Bitcoin.

what the point? Lou Elis Peterson was right !! hold or mine it

If your investment isnt productive, then youre not investing, but simply gambling.. the money you won is merely the money that either someone loses or will lose at the very last peak

[googlesucks]

I have to disagree with Warren here, bitcoin creates energy waste

[SayanKarmakar]

Whenever he says "significant amount", I have to gulp down twice

[johnalex]

In trading Bitcoin and other commodities, everyone wants 1000% in a week, but can't handle 20% drop in a week. That's the beginning of witchcraft.

[satkarandhillon]

All these Bitcoin believers in the comments saying Buffett doesn’t know anything.... he knows how to make 85 billion dollars bro 😂

[drtij_dzienz]

Buffet knows how to make money, but he doesn’t know how to buy drugs on the internet

[leahdouglas]

Please I need someone to help me trade or invest the forex or crypto market because I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating...

"Maybe when he (Charlie) gets a little older he'll mature..." haha

[mazlofox]

the bitcoin community is being trolled by berkshire hathaway.

[mrclmalatji]

warren missed both the internet and blockchain technology. but somehow he is one of the richest people in the world, it goes to show that sticking to what you do best is also a good investment.

Financial inclusion works hand in hand with financial literacy. And when the latter is lacking, many would see the potential risks involved in this. To instill market discipline, an understanding of what u invest in is really important.
