Sad to say that Bill Gates is officially past it, he may have been one of the worlds biggest movers and shakers in the 80s and 90s but he is well removed from the cutting edge of technology nowadays and his opinions are irrelevant as far as I am concerned. There are some very easy ways to short Bitcoin as 30 seconds on Google will show, and the fact he doesn't know this emphasises how out of touch he is.
He was not a mover nor a shaker, he was a global industry stifler, copy write infringer and technology stifler that slowed global innovation down by destroying any company he could not take over. He gets the moniker as a great business man but great businessmen steal from the good of all for the benefit of themselves and that is what he did. He was gifted with the foreknowledge to understand ruling the tech that controlled our information ruled us. BTW he stole Windows from Gates who had stolen it from Xerox.
Never expected Bill Gates to say stuff like this. I thought he already learnt his lessons from the naughty past of windows monopolies and now trying with his wife Melinda to do good for a better world with his foundation, but you cannot remove the dark parts of his heart I guess. He maybe feels people forgot all about him and so he makes these types of statements,,, so the world remembers oh he was a genius. He should go buy futures contracts and prove himself wrong.
When you steal a bank, handing out bread on a corner does not make you a philanthropist. He never cared about humanity as a whole and still doesn't because if he did he would not be mudding about with his foundation wasting resources and then whining that he tried. I would not be surprised that he is fudding to buy in,as he is a master manipulator.
First of all I appreciate that Bill Gates is supporting block chain but I don’t know why he is not supporting bitcoin. I think he is afraid of bitcoins progress that why he did this kind of comment. Many big investors had already invested in bitcoin and they are happy and hopeful for it. I think he should do study on current market situation then he will understand weather bitcoin is good or not.
Because he cannot control it, research him. He steals any tech he likes and has to have control. It's a massive personality flaw of his, he can't comprehend that others can guide and control the direction of an idea better than he can. I wonder if in his mind his failed foundation is just validated that opinion in his mind. I think it's low self esteem like people that get their Jollys when other people fail because they cannot excel.
