Bill Gates Claims “CryptoCurrencies Is A Rare Technology Directly Causing Deaths

[LancelotRay]

Glad to see that everyone here is calling him out.

Even though he's Bill Gates, his logic is absolute shit here.

Do you think this will cause a bear trend? But more importantly, do you agree with him?

As important as he is, I think that's somewhat of a false equivalency.

I mean, many people also use Windows to buy drugs online and do illegal stuff. Does Windows contribute to directly causing deaths? I don't think so.

Thoughts?

This news is so funny that I fell on the ground; hypocrite on the highest form.US government is the largest arms producer of the World then why not condemns the government by producing weapons for mass of destruction.

Even the windows OS are contributor to wide spread of porno on the internet. Bill Gates looks sloppy on his response because his logic is so naïve.

Gates once asserted that bitcoin technology is a technology that can "make money move between countries easier and get the cost down quite dramatically".
on the other hand he says that cryptocurriency can cause death.
either what's in his mind or he's just looking for a sensation or also this news is invalid.

I could not even think that the bill gates could say so, most likely this is the yellow press parading on every site in Google. Bill for innovation in technology and for progress in the world. And this is progress and more.

Super flawed logic although it isn't incorrect. We should stop using knives, pans, and anything alike that could cause some harm onto somebody. Better yet lets stop using the US dollar altogether because that causes drug death too. Good intention, bad logic in action.

lol. exactly. I think its flawed at its best. He used to support bitcoin and now he is changing his tone. why... may be just want some attention.

It's just such an absolutely ridiculous statement to make. Hopefully the public is at least a little more understanding of crypto now, to see that bill gates' statements are ludicrous.

I have gone through website where I dint find much he is saying about cryptocurrency. My question is here why Microsoft product taking bitcoin payment . You can search before posting. Ethereum is having strong backers out of that Microsoft is one among them (speculation).

Everything has what many call pros and cons, trade-offs if we may call it. I believe in him saying such, but at the same time, his works would also be connected to a lot or tons of casualties globally. However, this connection is direct. The same can be with cryptocurrencies, it's just that I believe, crypto as young as it is have not contributed to casualties as much as his work did.
That is just my opinion, and is not backed by any data though.

Bill Gates is a deep state puppet working to spy on us with his backdoor software and sterilizing people in Africa with his deadly vaccines. He is pure evil and hates crypto because it offers freedom to what he considers livestock to be managed, us.
