When bill Gates invested on Microsoft it was the first of its kind... Bitcoin is also the first of its kind... but you don't see Mr gates investing on BTC.
.do you?

Makes me wonder, is this really a big conspiracy...?

Are you saying bill gates is satoshi?

First thought: Man he looks old these days.

But I agree with him, it's hard not to.

He probably bought 100 million dollars at mt gox. watched them crash and still smiled then bought 100million more elsewhere... Oh you mean it went up a X 10... Fine call it 1 billion to the current sellers.

Still on top... and could be an easy contender for buying a billion dollar bitcoin....

maybe he means copying an altcoin that is also decentralized.  there are a lot of things about bitcoin that could be fixed.  i dont think it costed satoshi millions to start up bitcoin.

He is very careful to mention that he doesn't think BTC will be the one. More and more I get the feeling that btc is the experiment. They will watch it and learn as it fails, then make a crypto that fixes everything that is wrong and copies everything that works, put their billions into marketing and infrastructure (or hop on btc's existing infrastructure) and go from there. Like he says - most don't care about anonymity, they want security and convenience.

Not good news for btc imo

What's the point investing millions in making an altcoin that does what bitcoin already does?

The last thing we need is another altcoin.

Especially a centralized one.

He is a genius. If he involve on Bitcoin that means he is going to make million of dollars from BTC.

No dumb fck, if hes involved with Bitcoin, that means he will copy it and release his own coin then use his money to kill every single Bitcoin business.

Didnt you ever learn shit about Bills?



OKaaaay, and then bitcointalk guys fights over this again. These billionaire geeks doesnt want to fight with each other... They want to make money with each other!!

Does someone think he owns bitcoins?
I don't know but he looks to be interested in it,but not so as to own
anyway, he says that it is cheap,and he is a really clever man  Cheesy
I would doubt that he owns any bitcon as an investment as he would need to own too many bitcoin for it to make up any portion of his net worth for the return on his investment to have any meaningful affect on his overall investments.

I would think that he is more interested in the technology and how he can leverage bitcoin to profit off of it (likely by providing some kind of service related to bitcoin)

It's very unlikely he owns any BTC as an investment.  For the last 20 years, his wealth is managed by Michael Larson:

"Melinda and I are free to pursue our vision of a healthier and better-educated world because of what Michael has done," Gates told guests at the party.

At this day and age, ppl still think Bill Gates is some genius ?

I mean dont they at least read a book or two about him? Innovation has never been his strong suit. Hes smart in stealing technology and using monopoly to stop every competitors.

Same with Facebook, it was never Mark's idea. Had the Cameron twins knocked it down within 20 days of being online with lawyers and all lawsuits, Mark would never be an billionaire asshole today.

It would be great if Bill Gates invested some millions in creating great books about bitcoin, making such a big white elephant enriching us all.
He loves books in large amounts and fancies a lot things like e-learning platforms like treehouse and so.
So it is not a far-fetched idea. He is all for knowledge and it seems he sees potential in bitcoin.
And the foundations of bitcoin still need a lot of teaching, good documentation and stuff. This would make it much more likely it gets better and more widespread at its core.
