Why is crypto so focused around Warren Buffet?

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Hello steemers,

I am seriously asking myself that question everytime Warren Buffet says something about crypto: Why do we bother?

Sure, he is one of the richest persons to ever walk this planet and may have some influence overall, but there are a lot of people - rich ones - constantly shittalking our great new tech.

So why bother about him so much?

I don't know.

Everyone is freely allowed to hate on new tech and whatnot and that is fine. But you guys need to realize some things:

  • He has been completely wrong about the outcome of Google and Amazon. Granted not a lot of people saw them becoming this big, but it kind of shows his views on new tech

  • He has a lot of his investments in big banks like Bank of America a.s.o. So you might wonder why he doesn't like a new Technology that threatens to revolutionize or eradicate the current banking system?

  • He freely admits he doesn't really understand crypto and just doesn't like them. You know how your friends outside of crypto react to it? "I don't get this thing, isn't it a big bubble?" etc etc.

So basically he seems like your grandpa, that just doesn't understand something like smartphones and therefore hates on it.

Which - again - is totally fine, but we should just stop caring about him until he actually says something useful about crypto, right?

And I know the price drop doesn't actually has something to do with Warren Buffet which is best explained via this tweet from Joseph Young:

But still everytime this happens we read something about FUD and people overreacting to an old man spewing some nonsense about our beloved tech.

Just ignore him already and BTFD!
