All we know warren buffet ..

my question is : why didn't warren buffet invest in any Cryto currency like Bitcoin, etc ... or he did we don't know yet :p :p

Based on his words from a few months back, he seems to be one of the many who had a chance to buy-in a long time back but didn't go through with it due to lack of belief in Bitcoin. Further, as prices continued to soar, he took it up to himself to continue spreading the 'bubble' plague. I do not believe he has any investments in cryptocurrencies because if he did, he wouldn't be calling it out while reaping profits.

We have already discussed about this many times before.Buffet is a successful investor in stock market.He has vast knowledge about traditional companies.But he lacks knowledge about new technologies.Bitcoin being a new technology,he just wants to stay away from it.

I dont exactly know who warren buffet is and i dont really want to know.
Last time he spread the word of bubble about bitcoin. I dont know why he did it. I think he does not get any income from bitcoin so thats why he tried to spread that bad word to other people.

Warren buffett is king of stock markets , he has in depth knowledge of stock companies and how it works , he is the one role model for so many  stock and mutual fund investors , on technology wise he may not be interested to invest on crypto currencies  as crypto currencies does not work like stock markets shares , it is entirely different concept like de-centralized .

and my question is:
how do you know that Warren Buffet have not invested in bitcoin yet?
for all you know he might be the biggest bitcoin whale in the whole world holding at least 1000 bitcoins.

in fact i believe that is why he have ever talked about bitcoin. he wanted to buy in the dips ;)

You can not be perfect in everything. There are solutions, the correctness or the error of which, we will see with time.

I have heard, although cannot confirm, that Warren Buffett only invests in things he understands well and crypto is something he does not understand well at all. Also, have heard he may only choose stable and consistent things to invest in. Just my 2c.

He is a very successful investor but now is 87 years old and not sure if he can catch the technology revolution behind bitcoin and blockchain

With all due respect to the man, i am still looking up to him when it comes to investing, his ways has been proven through time, i guess if if also had tried to venture in cryptocurrency he will be shocked on how fast his system would work, but thanks to him a lot of investors in crypto currency today, uses his styles on how to invest and more likely than not, also have the same result and that might be the reason why he did not push crypto currency, since it will only show that bitcoin is not a bubble. Though he did not invest in crypto currency and say that bitcoin is a bubble, people still uses his ways and his reasoning why they invested in bitcoin, and there is a high chance that there will be a warren buffet in cryptocurrency.

He clearly said that all the cryptos are a big scam for him, and maybe he was not wrong about that.

The real problem are the guys like McAfee who are trying to pump and dump all the coins who are on the market like he is doing right now.

The market is full of manipulators, big whales, and a lot of other kind of people who are only taking advantage of the situation.

That is not not entirely true.
For example he hates gold and he has never invested in gold but he invested in silver.
He thinks bitcoin is just one big bubble and that is the reason why he didn't invested.

How can we answer this as we are not warren buffet. I don't think that he is invested in crypto, at least not very knowingly. If he is it will be via some advisor or such. I'm sure he has no real need to though and is doing just fine with his current set up.

He said crypto was rat poison.

Some replied that he was the rat.

 ;D

He is quite old, he will never understand how cryptos works, and i understand him, he is more than 80 years old if i am not wrong, he borned on the period in where there were farms.. not a "blockchain" like it is right now.


He has always invested on stocks, on currencies, on "stable" things , but we all know that stocks aren't stable too. They are probably the most insecure asset after bitcoin because of the volatility.


he is old, but he is pretty smart.

Why would anyone expect a very old multi billionaire who has hardly bothered to invest in any tech companies, several of which are now the largest and most profitable companies in the world, let anyone anything as batshit crazy as crypto?

He's a value investor and stocks are his thing. The closest traditional thing to crypto investment is forex which is something several thousand years old and he has nothing to do with either.

He's based on traditional investing, probably even conservative. Something like Bitcoin probably didn't appear close to what he had in mind as steady news focus.

I don't think he invest into cryptocurrency, beause he only invested into the career that he understand, has consistant competitive advantage.
For the cryptocurrency, noboday can estimate  its real value in the future.
Anyway, I beliveve bitcoin will bring lot of profit for us in the future.

He is actually my investment guru. I signed on him in Twitter and for now everything he have said about crypto currencies, mostly Bitcoin, came true. So, I build almost all my moves about sell-buy by his predictions and concusions.

He might not understand Bitcoin, he thinks that Bitcoin is just a stock to invest in. There is more to Bitcoin than that.

I am pretty sure he did through some incognito 3rd party so in the beginning it cant be traced back to him. I think he has gone on record claiming that he doesnt support the crypto market. And in all reality why should he, he has completely milked the current economic structure, he doesnt need to really milk this new cryptoeconomy.

Warren Buffet is an investment icon known all over the world for his accuracy in stock and foreign exchange predictions. He has created wealth for himself through various investment windows and as a successful business man and investor he has the liberty to choose the contents of his investment portfolios. I think he doesn't invest much in technology stocks, hence his decision not to pay attention to crypospace and blockchain.

He is not into bitcoin or crypto in general. He is against it specially bitcoin. First you have to understand where the guy is coming from. He is old school, he doesn't invest on anything he feels very volatile and based on pure speculation, like bitcoin. And you can search a lot on the internet about why is against bitcoin. Although there are a lot of financial institutions who are now seeing bitcoin as a good investment instrument, he is still not sold on crypto. But we should respect the man, he is a multi billionaire, we can't deny that. But it doesn't mean that everything he says is 100% accurate. He also have invested on others that didn't succeed. So as much as we love him for being a good investor, maybe crypto's in not for him, this is the new era, a new revolution, he is as old school investors as you can find, so it only makes sense that he will stay away from crypto will others are already making millions from it.

He's old, and he didn't understand this new course. And once you have made radical public statements against once asset, you tend to stay coherent to your position, even against every evidence that you have been wrong in your judgement.

I have hearing this name "Warren Buffet". I searched for him on Google, still reading about him.

Honestly, I wouldn't touch crypto if I was Buffet. It makes very little sense from his position to be exposed to unneded stress and complexity.

Who cares? He already proved himself and is pretty old right now. It would be a huge risk for him and his carreer, we smaller investors have nothing to lose.

maybe no need for warren buffet to invest on the crypto because he is worth millions already whether he will do it He is in a good shape already out of crypto currency world

Warren Buffet didn't invest in Amazon in early days and accepted his mistake recently. You could expect another apology later. But we can't sign off the bubble analogy. Many people are buying bitcoin as investment (we are discussing why Warren Buffet didn't invest!!)  when it was envisioned as a currency. Greater fool theory does apply to most new investors in 2017.

Dude.  WB is a genius stock market investor, and if you've ever read anything about him you'd know he only invests in assets that he knows something about--that he can analyze.  With businesses you can analyze what their earnings are, what they pay for dividends, what their future prospects are.  You cannot do that with anything in cryptocurrency.  It's all completely speculative, next-sucker theory, i.e., what's the next jackoff going to pay for the bitcoin you want to sell.  Buffett would never invest in anything like that unless he had insider info about something he knew was going to affect crypto...and even then he's known as being pretty ethical, so he probably wouldn't do it even in that case.  This should come as no surprise to WB fans.  I have mad respect for the man.  He knows what he's doing, and he's not a complete scumbag like a lot of investors.

He probably has more Bitcoins than all of us put together.

It kind of sucks to be in his position and to be 87 years old. What are the chances that he'll be here in ten years?

It's not fair to dismiss it as he's just old. He's wise. It could possibly be that he knows how his words affects markets, and since I read he's very ethical unlike Mcafee, he could simply not wanted it to sky rocket just based on his words.

  Or maybe he has so much diversified account in crypto that we dont know yet. Knowing this big players, they have the "eye" on seeing which assets are very good investments. Investing money he can afford to lose in crypto wouldn't be that much of a problem for warren buffet.  I think he is just keeping it on a low profile.

What if he has huge investment and stakes in crypto currency. You know such a figure coming out to declare his stance on bitcoins will cause a heavy movement in bitcoin price. Since he hasnt spoken bad about crypto ,let assume he support it.

i strongly believe biggest threat for cryptocurrencies is Warren Buffet. Warren Buffet can ban anything regarding crypto currencies

warren buffet already has a wealth of USD $ 62 billion
why should he invest his money in bitcoin, and he is also crowned as the third richest man in the world  ;D
