‘BITCOIN IS A REACTION TO WARREN BUFFET AND HIS CRONY CAPITALISTS,’ SAYS MAX KEISER
‘CRONY CAPITALISM’
In a fresh episode of RT’s Keiser Report, the outspoken Bitcoin bull accused Buffett and Munger of “crony capitalism.”
“Bitcoin is a reaction to Warren Buffett and his crony capitalists,” he said.
[…] They don’t want to come down from their pedestal of crony capitalism and free money from central banks to address that, so they attack crypto.
Berkshire’s elite gained considerable press coverage earlier this week after they delivered further soundbites against cryptocurrency and trading it.
Buffett, who has been open about his distaste for Bitcoin, described it as “probably rat poison squared” at an annual shareholder meeting last weekend, a comment that was widely criticized by the Bitcoin users.

Munger, who previously said Bitcoin was “utterly assinine,” backed up his stance by asserting trading it was like “trading fresh harvested baby brains.”
“It’s antisocial, stupid and immoral,” he told Yahoo! Finance in an interview.
BITCOIN WILL GO TO $30K… SOON?
Keiser met Munger’s words on par, telling viewers the 94-year-old “would have the pleasure of watching Bitcoin soar past $30,000 per coin as he expires from this planet.”
While not guessing at when exactly Bitcoin’s implied jump to $30,000 would take place, Keiser has not been shy about his predictions for the cryptocurrency’s future.
In an interview with Bitcoinist last month, while also keeping quiet on timeframes, the figure of $100,000 came easily.
“My only Bitcoin prediction is that the price will top $100,000. As far as timing, extrapolate from current trends and you get a sense of when,” he said.
Similar optimism has since surfaced from other regular Bitcoin bulls including Tom Lee, whose company Fundstrat Global Advisors this week produced research concluding mining trends will send BTC/USD to $36,000 by the end of 2019.

hi
Prices below 9000
There has not been any important foundation that has led to the last fall in the BTC markets, but in general it is the general trend in the short term that seems to have been established in recent days, which is causing this weakness and eroding the confidence of the investors The bulls need to position themselves very soon and show who is in control if they want to have more possibilities to move prices upwards because, otherwise, they could easily lose control over time and this would not be good in the medium term.
