oh please do you understand what are you talking? That man is so rich and why the hell does he wants to be more rich? He has so much money that he can't to spend all during his life. He can to purchase almost all bitcoin but why? Tell me one factor why he has to invest in bitcoin, what will he get? Nothing. And buying bitcoins doesn't means that you are respected.

Bill Gates has enough money to be worried about making great investments, but if he bought bitcoin, he wouldn't say, he would just buy it and hold it.

Im sure a lot of billionaires own bitcoin and aren't disclosing their positions publicly. If I was rich and I bought a big amount of BTC I wouldn't say.

Bill Gates is already using Bitcoin!
Microsoft was one of the first big companies to accept
Bitcoins for their products (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13942/microsoft-account-add-money-with-bitcoin )

The fact that he's not loud about it doesn't mean he's not smart Wink
Big companies like Microsoft don't need that money and I'm almost
sure that they're storing their Bitcoin profits at least until 2020
ultimately getting a huge ROI for their patience.

People always want more money, even if they are the richest person of the world, but I think it's not the case of Bill Gates.

Yes, he probably has some Bitcoins but he don't want to show it in public, but this is just speculations.

when bitcoin was below 200 USD bill gates told about bitcoin that bitcoin is very cheap so how can say he did not invested money in bitcoin , who knows this ? if he told bitcoin is cheap @200 USD is means he know price will go high and he invested too much that is why Microsoft accepted bitcoin in early stage Cool

Theoretically he would not need to use it since he already has billions in cash and he can probably buy something locally faster than 10 minutes, or have people do it for him.

At what point do you just not care about making more money? It just comes down to power then. Glad he doesn't feel the need to manipulate the cryptocurrency prices with his power :p

He dont need to buy bitcoin because if he tend too then he could really buy all 21 million bitcoins if he want.Why would he bother to seek out more money? Knowing that hes one of the richest man on the world and he wont need to seek out for more money because even he would not do anything he can sustain his entire life with his money.He have everything and theres no need for him to bother his self on more investments.

Bill Gates stated that bitcoin is better than currency:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6KRp91YAw8

I'm sure he owns bitcoin.

True, he may use it and just not advocate for it publicly. If he did it might overload the network anyway it is probably not ready for that level of mainstream traffic with transactions globally.

Why do you assume Bill Gates hasn't invested in Bitcoin? Actually he has very fond things to say about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

How do you know he doesn't own bitcoin?

Not everybody goes public about owning bitcoin and that's probably pretty wise if value keeps increasing.

Sometimes things isn't always about money! Mark that words please .
Bitcoin could change the world into better one , i believe it and bill gates will glad to do that.
Also as VC George said above that microsoft has been involved into bitcoin project since few years ago and i think it should be considered that bill gates used bitcoin too indirectly.

Well I guess you missed a small point over here.
When Microsoft intended to implement bitcoins, it wasn't direct implementation.
They partnered with BitPay which is a popular crypto receiver which pays out the companies in USD.

So no they're not storing any bitcoins and aren't trying to do anything with it. They just found an opportunity to add a deposit method (but they still get paid in the same old method in US dollars.

What a freaking random question to ask... And you haven't even done any research about this whatsoever because if you did, you would have certainly found the Youtube video with Bill Gates talking about Bitcoin very positively.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6mOUh_NY8M

Next time, at least do a simple search on Google Wink

Firstly he does not need money or pure profit. He's now more interested in social responsibility project. And last how do you know he don't use bitcoin directly or indirectly? We can't know.

In my own opinion why bill gates do not invest sme in bitcoin simply because bill gates is so rich he don't need any bitcoins to get even more rich. In every seconds bill gates salary worth hundreds thousands, so in a day he's salary is worth a million. So what is the reason that bill gates should use bitcoin ? Nothing.
