Bitcoin Forum

Big news! It seems that he has identified the bottom and is confident that a recovery is under way. Berkshire now has a bitcoin department which is why the price pumped this past week. Go get some!

*EDIT (10.30pm 1 April 2019)*

Happy April fools! jajaja :D
Although this time next year it might actually be true ;)

Wow...I am really hoping that this is not just another April Fool's day post. In case this is authentic move then this is a big turnaround from his popular stand on cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin as nothing more than thin air. What is good here is that he can be a big influence most especially for people who like him are not convinced with the real value of cryptocurrency.

Well.. it's unfortunately is. I didn't even need to do a Google search to realize.

It should be great news, if Warren Buffet does something like that, it would have a good impact in the Crypto world, because all his advice is very valuable in his books, I do not lose hope that the Stock Market's paradigm shift towards the market will take of Bitcoin.

throughout history not a single rich person has announced what they buy and where they invest their money to become rich because they don't want others to know what they are doing. so what made you think for a moment that this rule might have changed in this case?!

I am sure that this "joke" is already true and Buffet and people like him have invested in bitcoin in the big dips because they see potentials even if they don't show it.

Great news I was wondering why the recovery of last week to above $4000, but you should always attach a link to your new to that others can verify it authenticity. I know bitcoin has reached it bottom and set for a long term recovery.

The number 1 hater of bitcoin all of the sudden change mind and invest in bitcoin? What a great news if it was true at all.

If Warren Buffet would actually invest in bitcoin it will be history and many bankers would follow his step.

I know he is the one who is going to pump lite coin to the moon just as a compliment.

I don't think that's real, probably just an april fools joke. Warren over the last year has discredited and flamed Bitcoin quite frequently, saying that it has no real value, isn't unique, and that it's dangerous for investors. Warren doesn't believe in blockchain technology and believes that the tech is a delusion, and is a bubble looking to burst.

Here are just a couple of videos/articles about warren buffet's views.

If I'm not mistaken, Buffet has repeatedly discredited Bitcoin. Are you sure about that? Have you ever heard of a formal news about it?


A lot of article about Buffet&BTC. He always said unreliable words for BTC.

If it is not an april fool's that is good. Warren buffet is investing in bitcoin that's a huge news. Even the faomous and rich man are now going to put his money in a bitcoin and it has a good impact to the bitcoin's image to the public. I think people's trust will go back and it will be the bridge to bitcoin's rise again.

This is great news, we need more of such news to boost people's interest in Bitcoin and increase price. However, it is necessary to back up your threads with factual, verifiable evidences

the funny thing about this joke on OP is that it might as well be correct :D

i don't really follow this type of drama but last time we saw someone complain about bitcoin and spread FUD about it (called bitcoin "fraud") it turned out that they have been buying it in the drop they caused.

Definitely right on point! No big investor or rich man would able to tell his plan publicly.Even just seeing on the topic title im not already believing
that this thing is true. We know how Warren Buffet do sees about Bitcoin and its impossible for him to proclaim something which is very unusual
or rare thing to be found.So this is typically a joke to me.

Happy April Fools lol, Buffet did not provide any statement yet for this topic as I have seen nothing yet on the web. If you do really have proof post it here so we could recognize if it is really true or not besides I am quite interested of his reasoning if he really did invest the fact that we are currently on the bearish market.

someone like warrent buffet, whose popularity is trusted by investors yesterday, hated bitcoin so that bitcoin fell, but now instead doing the opposite step ???
is this part of his desire to master this?
as did the apple ??
this is only my opinion ???

Very good news for every one if Warren buffet invest.

Nice try, lots of threads today and we know it's April fools day.
What if this will become into reality, well I am hoping Warren buffet will invest in the future, or maybe he is just faking us now
and without our knowing, he is secretly accumulating BTC at this bear season.

Cannot believe that you guys are actually falling for this. Happy April fools day people!

Also, Warren Buffet will most likely never recommend Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency for that matter(He might secretly invest though).

LOL! I think you should send a link to verify this rumor is true, otherwise I will think this is an April Fool's Day joke. Warren buffet is one of the most critical bitcoin critic, it's hard to believe he will invest in bitcoin.

Everyone knows this is an April Fool's day joke. He would never endorse bitcoin. He just claimed that bitcoin is not a currency.

It is an April fool's joke.  Not a single news about Buffet supporting Bitcoin.  It was just a rumor that he invested on something but it is on fintech and it is different from Bitcoin. 

But if it happen, I wonder what will be Bitcoin's trend.  A huge spike maybe?

Source? ::) It makes no sense to post this without any verification / trustworthy source. I guess Warren Buffet will be the latest one who is going to invest in cryptos...

The price of bitcoin does not revolve around one individual investment and there was a time when the market moved according to any news that is coming out, but that is not the case now and even if the news of an old man investing in bitcoin is a true  :P, it does not make any difference in price simply because of that, the market is showing signs of recovery and hopefully we will see the market breaking the first resistance in a weeks time.

Makes me wonder though, what if one of these April Fools prank turns out to be true in the future?  ;D

But knowing, Warren B., nah, I doubt that he will just invest on bitcoin because he will be trolled continuously and joked around by his fellow billionaires.  :)

Nice try though OP, but we know what you did here.

Where are the source ? i heard warren buffet is really hate bitcoin and said bitcoin is a bubble.
Still waiting for the confirmation of this news

I googled and couldn't find any such news. Can you please share an authentic link for our information.
In my view the success of BTC lies in mass adoption in every country and it doesn't matter that giants like Warren join the crypto community or not. Since it's not easy to manipulate the crypto market like equity and commodity market, I don't see big giants coming to crypto market.

Confirmation? Obviously people are having a heyday with this april 1st prankfest. Don't believe anything absurd you hear or read because people have the license to blurt out fake news this time of the year.

I don't really think he did that since he has known bitcoin before and told to a lot of media about bitcoin. Bitcoin price movement has been rising in a few days back and I'm sure this movement doesn't caused by him. However, I found this information https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2019-April/016811.html some time ago and made me thought that this movement price can be caused by that information.

I'm too greedy to want him to invest in Bitcoin as that would pump the price like crazy. Not even mention the media coverage that BTC will automatically at a worldwide level. I can imagine newspapers' headlines: " Berkshire's Bitcoin Supremacy" lol

wow i think its a real news, but i forget that now is 1st april, happy April Fooled every body  ;D ;D ;D

Has he realized that BTC is not a bubble and a ponzi? but before, could you give me a source of information about this?

if this information is correct, then he realizes that the recovery will end quickly, and BTC will make a high trend.

This is great if Warren Buffet invests in bitcoin, and I think this will make the future of Bitcoin better and experience better price increases.

why is everyone saying that its not true ?  whats wrong with you guys ? and whats wrong if warren buffet will invest in bitcoin ?  he might be a bitcoin hater before but people also changed . he might be a bitcoin lover today  .  also , what if warren buffet is already a bitcoin investor before ? he is only making fuds because he wants to dump the price so that he can buy more bitcoins  . that is an old strategy   i dont get it why no one gets it  .

Well you can't teach an old trick, it's not going to happen, he will not throw his reputation to the window just like that, even if he wants to invest he will not announce it and will do it privately, there's a possibility that it's going to happen, because even big companies like Facebook are converting to cryptocurrency.

Warren Buffett is not a fan of Bitcoin,  so I would be surprised to hear that. (even in a different day than 1st of April).

However,  there are already a lot of big players on crypto market, so price will continue its rally started this morning.

This caught me too. I hope the current sudden market gain won't end up as a special "April Fool?". I can't even tell what drove the market crazily high this morning. Crypto is unpredictable.

really-really funny =)
especially for hodlers...

Suddenly seeing that all of them have started to start the 1st April 2019 as Fools day and started to fool everyone, and seeing the current trend OP have started the thread instating to fool the Holders as this news is nothing but fooling it.

Wish you all Happy April Fool 2019

Before read the description, I thought this is one of the reason bitcoin PUMP, but uhh you're make me feel...!! :'( :'( (I can't say it)

So this was clearly an April fool joke, However, I would not be surprised to see Warren Buffet one day buying into bitcoin, one way or another. If he sees a good entry point and an even better exit point, then why should he not take that profit, a bitcoin EFT will maybe be the start of Warren Buffet crypto adventure?

Although this is an April Fool's joke, there is some truth in it and I think that such an experienced investor as Warren Buffet will not miss the opportunity to make money on cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. Looking at the huge sums of money transferred into stablrcoins, it seems to me that these amounts will flow into cryptocurrency in the near future, which should lead to an increase in the crypto  market.

It does not but it may initiate a spike or a bull run, and even a mass adoption.  Known figures especially in finance industry have great influence over people.  Their thought are valued by their follower or those people who believe in them.  That is why it would be big if Warren Buffet make a U turn and invest in Cryptocurrency.  He will greatly influence lots of investors.

Then I think it could be good news for the people because they know that someone like Warren Buffet have interest in bitcoin and he is investing in bitcoin. That will help with the price to lift higher, and maybe we will see good news too in the market. Then soon, the other people will follow what he did, and people will invest their money too. We need more people like Warren Buffet to get into bitcoin so the process of adoption will start bigger.

I believed Buffet is really investing in bitcoin even they din't tell or show publicly,of course for privacy and security reason. And we need people like buffet as a bigtime investors of bitcoin industry.

I think it's very likely that Warren Buffet actually invested in BTC
They are people like him who can re-launch the market, people who when they make an investment of the kind ....
 they do it because they know that it will benefit them "" economically ""
Who invests 80ML of dollars is certainly not a foolish one ..... ;D
We hope that another like him will arrive in the next few days , in order to revive the whole market.

Warren Buffett being one of the legendary person who got termed to be a billionaire with his investment skills has been describing bitcoin has no value and it is completely delusional. The best part with him is that he has praised the blockchain technology which isn't expected from him. For this people began to speculate relating to the bitcoin. Even now it is not assured that he has invested into bitcoin.

This will be interesting if is really true but as it seems there is no proof to this. Thinking that Warren buffet has made his intentions know about Bitcoin openly and it doesn't look  like he is ready to change that anytime soon. So if he is going to probably change his mind to invest into bitcoin , then it’s going to be made open for everyone to see it. Just my thought.

It seems that i don't find it interesting anymore whenever i see warren buffet news dealing with bitcoin. I mean the guy obviously will not change his stance for btc and would likely make another statement against it. He's a wealthy man and he deserves respect for whatever he did to achieve his status but when it comes to bitcoin, he's just a rich old man.

Sure. Also I would think that this news is fake (or 1st April joke). An investment strategy os Warren Buffet is to find some underpriced business, buy it and then sell it for the full price. He is buying 1$ for 70 cents.
Warren Buffet can't use his common strategy with cryptocurrency speculation and I don't think that something made him to work with crypto and all those news are fake.

I looked this thread even after april first initially made me think then after seeing April fool message got disappointed, Still I am searching for genuine reason for this market bull run. Unfortunately I couldn’t able to figure out . Hope this news will be true in near future.

people are rising up to the reality of the blockchain technology in the globe as the time passes. Warren Buffet is just another folk that has awakened into the reality of the technology called blockchain. The fact that he has started gathering some bitcoins will further encourage investors and a whole lot of people also will consider their part as they join to further increase the community

what an april fool prank though I sincerely wish it was not an april fool prank. Well I believe sooner than later warren buffet and so many other top men will invest in bitcoin. The day will surely come when the accept,adopt and invest in bitcoin.

I think these people are always in the market but they don't want to be known right now. As the situation improved, they may let people to know they are in the market. By doing that they will enjoy the profit of their investments which they previosuly made. Then people see him as a genious and true investor who allways know stay at the right place on its time. One of people who are called whales might be him.

Everyone knows that Warren Buffet is not a fan of Bitcoin as he never found any intrinsic value of it.

However, if adoption rate will increase significantly and network lightning will be used frequently,  I think he might change his mind.

He also said that he will never invest in tech stocks. You know what he did lately? he bought a bunch of Apple stocks. so, yeah - i totally agree. if adoption is going on widely, i also think he will change his mind

Although this has been posted almost 2 weeks from now, it is obvious that for now Warren Buffett will always claim that bitcoin is a poison rat and looks like he will never change his mind.

He's too old enough to understand the new emerging assets and his mind is now closed to look upon it. He's relying to the traditional assets and isn't willing to gamble with assets/store of value like bitcoin that he don't like.

What a pathetic attempt for an April fool's joke. The vast majority of us, the bitcoin users don't care about Warren Buffet and his Berkshire Hathway. His investment tactics earned him a lot of profit during the 1980s and 1990s. But unfortunately, the guy has fallen out with modern technology. He is like someone still using the 1.44 MB floppy disks to store the data, when 256 GB USB sticks are readily available.

I know pretty lame right? Though i've already read somr articles before stating the same thing and they aren't about april fools lol. Warren buffet has made quite the reputation in the business world but we all know he doesn't know much about bitcoin to be spewing out all those remarks.

I don't think all of them will invest in Bitcoin.

I mean these people are well known when it comes to these types of industry and I think even if only one of those people invest on Bitcoin, some followers or some people that take a reference in investing follow him. I mean he is one of the richest people in this world, who would not follow him right? If that is really happening, that might really make a change to the price.

it is not about not knowing or knowing about bitcoin. it is mainly about having certain principles as an investor and sticking to them and that part of it is respectable and we all should learn from him. these principles are that he only sees companies with a product as a viable investment.
but the part about him giving opinion about bitcoin and saying it wild end badly is pretty bad.

Me either, Warren Buffet is a great philosopher and investing is really his passion. Yes, it can happen in the future but I hope Warren Buffet was still here to educate more people about investing and especially about cryptocurrency. We need a more genuine people about investing, there's a lot of things to happen in the future so let's be more optimist.
