Warren buffet now investing in bitcoin

[jakelyson]

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.

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.

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...

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!

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  , 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? 

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.

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.

[ChrisPop]

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

[kucritt]

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

[kamBlanV]

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.

[Ains_sama]

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.

[shesheboy]

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  .

*EDIT (10.30pm 1 April 2019)*

Happy April fools! jajaja
Although this time next year it might actually be true

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.

[killat]

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.

[Leonardo7]

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.

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
