I agree with this, many billionaires like Bill Gates or Warren Buffett are protesting or propagating negatively about bitcoin. Simply because they don't want us to be as rich as them, they don't want the world to be too equal.
I think they know the potential of bitcoin very well, they want to control it for themselves. But unfortunately for them, bitcoin is decentralized, so there is no way to control it. And their solution is to use their influence to get people away from bitcoin.
I think these two billionaires don't hate bitcoin, what happens is that they are very cautious people who are used to following the governments system, what the governments say and what they follow so they would not come out in public and say things like: " buy bitcoin because bitcoin is decentralization and we are going to escape government control " the wealth of these two billionaires comes from companies that they have in which their main clients are the governments and for these two billionaires to thrive they need the centralized system, they need to follow the rules and laws of governments. it is different from other billionaires who are rebellious and support bitcoin and altcoin
let's look at the case of pai doge for example (for people who don't know about pai doge just go to google and write "pai doge" and you'll find out who I'm talking about), pai doge at first was someone for bitcoin but later realized that he wouldn't have been able to control bitcoin and for that reason he settled on dogecoin and started promoting dogecoin, I don't know to what extent in dogecoin he managed to reach his goal but bitcoin is still free as it should be. while some billionaires, politicians and governments are left with thoughts that bitcoin wastes a lot of electricity and destroys the environment, others who are more rational people look optimistically at the future of bitcoin
I also invest in bitcoin and really hope it will be able to increase in price for me to be profitable. But we shouldn't pretend like many people are saying that they love bitcoin with all their hearts. We don't love bitcoin at all, we just love its returns. If bitcoin was only profitable and risk-free, then I would really love it with all my heart. But we are taking a risk to get the profit, so there is no need to love it wholeheartedly.
as strange as it may seem, there are people who love bitcoin, they are not just for profit, you can see that because they keep holding until infinity and don't even think about selling, so you soon realize that these types of people are in love with this market and not for money. in my case it's two things: profit and I like bitcoin, even if it weren't very volatile I would still like bitcoin and the reason why I like bitcoin is very simple: "freedom to be able to keep it in my wallet without needing bank and KYC"
