I cannot oppose the BG statement but all this time I have felt that the cryptocurrency is still very helpful with what I have done even though it is currently in a very sluggish state but it is sure to be good again

Seems like Bill Gates is a bit out of touch with the use case of most coins and tokens. In a way he's right that there's not much legitimate use at the moment besides hoping for price increase. But soon the tokens will begin to play a role in many people's life and we will see broad adoption.

There must be a deep reason why bill gates doesn't want crytocurrency in the world. What important today is the thoughts and mindset of the Crypto users, that makes sense, just continue to do hardwork and do not always depend on the opinion of others.

Of course any entity with tremendous fiat reserves will object to and try to hinder the rise of Crypto Currencies,

and expontentially more so if these said entities have close, backdoor connections to governments and banks...

Just bill gates makes a lot of money on the company, so he believes that cryptocurrency is bad. And those who trade cryptocurrencies believe that trading cryptocurrencies is the best choice.

for the widespread use of coins should not pass a little time.NIR everyone knows about coins and about the crypto world,and not everyone will believe it and agree to it,over time Yes ,it will penetrate into life,but how much is a mystery.

Yeah, we can not force others to trust cryptocurrency, too. But we know that this crypto is a good thing for us, it just needs more time to make them believe about crypto. Maybe in the future, by looking in any proofs of crypto, they can see crypto as a good thing for them.

I think people are trying to understand now that we need the government to explicitly address the issue of taxation. This space is growing and they cannot ignore the size of the money flowing in space.

Bill Gates is an old man, with old thinking, he probably understand how to create a big centralized software but he doesnt understand the opposite, why is decentralization better.

Let's speak frankly, maybe this esteemed person does not quite understand the full value of cryptocurrency, because today she didn’t fully reveal her full potential, so I would probably just stop listening to this respected person. So just say what you need to think with your head.

In his own reddit AskMeEverything page, https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/80ow6w/im_bill_gates_cochair_of_the_bill_melinda_gates/

He answers about cryptocurrency stating
“The main feature of crypto currencies is their anonymity. I don't think this is a good thing. The Government’s ability to find money laundering and tax evasion and terrorist funding is a good thing. Right now crypto currencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs so it is a rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way. I think the speculative wave around ICOs and crypto currencies is super risky for those who go long.”

He isn't wrong in his sense, if the cryptocurrency is to have a future, they should be able to create an environment of trust between themselves and the authorities.


I have to disagree an say that he is wrong, I bet whatever criminal activities that is being carried out with cryptos does not even reach a small percentage of the criminal activities that are being carried out with cash, why does he not say that cash is bad? I just think that he might be mad that he did not think about it first and won't be surprised if he has some hedgefund manager somewhere buying cryptocurrencies for him.

Cryptocurrency is liberation. Regulation is not good having one man control and make decisions for the masses. Everyone should have freedom to spend money as they want.

That is the opinion of successful people, but it will be different from the opinion of intelligent people. For intelligent people, they will always find new ideas using crypto.
Bill Gates never knew that Crypto was very valuable, he was accustomed to success in Fiat, and could not fully understand Crypto. If he is smart and intelligent he will become a pope and control the bear market with bitcoin.

at first everyone also said crypto was bad, but finally they also entered into this big vortex. so maybe in a few years, Bill Gates's thinking about crypto will be different. I also thought at first, crypto was an unfavorable investment, but look at this time I am here. My advice is not to believe what people say about Crypto. as long as you still believe, you can definitely make a profit.
The scams that is joined with a certain coin makes it seem like the coin is a scam. Don't listen to all the junk media stations.

No, I don't agree with bill gates at all. He has only a company in his head, and he does not even try to find the pros and cons of cryptocurrency. That's why I don't think it's true.

I reality, Bill Gates is not negative about the cryptocurrencies. Curious, there are the rumors that say he might be Satoshi Nakamoto. This short video is about his attitude towards crypto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6mOUh_NY8M

I don't think it's strange at all. Whenever something new emerges, it often has two different voices.
One is to praise and the other is to oppose. However, when these technologies(blockchain) are really accepted by others, these opposition voices will slowly stop.

I totally agree because it is personal opinion of each person is the feeling of each person, you can see that one is true and the other is not, but what profit I will invest.

I advise you not to pay attention to such public statements. Of course, this is a very respected person in the world who has achieved impressive success in the world of technology and business. But the whole advantage of the crypto market is that it does not depend on such statements and individual persons, but continues to develop.

but did you know that when Bill Gates offered his product to the public, he suffered a great defeat, since very few people believed in his product?) So let him be silent better))

I think the worst thing about cryptocurrencies is that the market is under extreme control (whales, sharks, merchants, businesses).

Yes, he does have a point, however, this is how cryptocurrency works, to conduct transactions without the involvement of a third party like what banks usually does. Financial privacy is what Cryptocurrency and blockchain provides. Its quite alarming because it is possible that it can be used for criminal activities.
