Such a philosophy is common among investors who are enthusiastic about blockchain’s potential to dominate Web3 as it becomes the infrastructure of the new internet. Yet, if you swap “cryptocurrency” with “stock,” you get a Warren Buffett quote — word-for-word. Of course, Buffett would never say such a thing about cryptocurrency because he thinks it’s worthless. So do a host of other heavy hitters, ranging from Buffett’s close ally Charlie Munger to gold’s poster boy Peter Schiff. Add to the list J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, and even Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren — a …

Warren Buffett has put most of Berkshire Hathaway's cash in short-term U.S. Treasury bills now that they offer as much as 3.27% in yields. But while the news does not concern Bitcoin (BTC) directly, it may still be a clue to the downside potential for BTC price in the near term. Berkshire Hathaway seeks safety in T-bills Treasury bills, or T-Bills, are U.S. government-backed securities that mature in less than a year.

Billionaire crypto investor and owner of the Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban says the current market downturn reminds him of a well-known adage uttered by Warren Buffett. Cuban sees a parallel between the rise and fall of cryptocurrency markets and projects, and the 91-year-old Oracle of Omaha’s aphorism states that, “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.” Cuban’s observation was revealed during a Thursday interview with Fortune in which he discussed what he sees as flawed business models of some crypto projects that have fallen on hard times over the past two months. “In stocks …

Bill Miller the billionaire founder and chief investment officer of investment firm Miller Value Partners, has said he considers Bitcoin (BTC) an “insurance policy against financial catastrophe.” Appearing on an episode of the “Richer, Wiser, Happier” podcast on May 24, Miller backed the cryptocurrency as a means for those caught in conflict to still access financial products. He used the collapse of financial infrastructure in Afghanistan after the United States withdrawal in August 2021 as an example. “When the U.S. pulled out of Afghanistan, Western Union stopped sending remittances there or taking them from Afghanistan, but if you had Bitcoin, …

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has once again slammed Bitcoin (BTC), asserting he “wouldn’t take” all of the BTC in the world for just $25. The 91-year-old, with a net worth of around $124 billion, is an avid crypto skeptic that once called Bitcoin “rat poison squared.” His arguments often stem around digital assets offering no tangible value, and the community has been quick to highlight on this occasion that there is a myriad of use cases and utility in crypto that Buffett likely hasn’t researched. Speaking at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder meeting on Saturday, Buffett commented on crypto in …

Charlie Munger, the ancient vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffet’s right hand man, has no issue with providing his honest thoughts on cryptocurrency: He hates it. Speaking at a shareholder’s Q&A session at the annual meeting for LA-based newspaper company, Daily Journal Corp, the 98-year-old investing icon likened crypto to a sexually transmitted disease. "I certainly didn't invest in crypto. I'm proud of the fact that I avoided it. It's like some venereal disease." Munger continued to express his contempt for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, adding, “I wish it had been banned immediately… I admire the Chinese for …

In a securities filing late Monday, the industrials conglomerate disclosed that it had purchased $1 billion worth of Nubank Class A stock in Q4/2021. On the other hand, it sold $1.8 billion and $1.3 billion worth of Visa and Mastercard stock, respectively, signaling a shift away from credit companies to gain exposure in their fintech rivals. Buffett, the so-called "Oracle of Omaha," is popular for his cautious approach …

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor thinks that Bitcoin (BTC) is more like digital property than digital currency. He was speaking on the July 15 edition of the Coin Stories podcast with host Natalie Brunell. Asked if he thought that Bitcoin was a threat to the United States dollar, Saylor replied: “I would call it a digital property; it’s a threat to property; it’s particularly a threat to other forms of property. Gold is property; real estate is property. I don’t think the United States government is threatened by real estate or buildings or companies or gold.” The comments follow on from …

Charlie Munger, billionaire investor and vice chair of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate, did not mince words when it came to describing his feelings on crypto. In the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting streamed live on Saturday, Munger addressed questions from investors alongside his fellow billionaire. While Buffett said he would intentionally dodge a question on whether cryptocurrencies were “worthless artificial gold,” Munger’s response was more direct, positing that the questioner was just “waving the red flag at the bull” in addressing him. “Of course I hate the Bitcoin success, and I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful to …
