Well, Buffet is known to be a value investor. He invest in things that have value per se, companies that sell good or services that backup the value invested. Bitcoin value is only in that people agree it has value. There are no physical things behind it. It is not strange that his opinion is this.



yeah I believe he doesn't even invest in any tech companies. So naturally something like bitcoin is far too much risk. But unfortunately he has a large following of people who respect his opinion and will never give bitcoin a second look because of his advice.

Warrent Buffet is an old fashion investor. To a certain extent he can predict what kind of growth his investments in traditional companies will realize. Bitcoin is something even the best investment guru can't predict right. It's either a wrong prediction, or a good one. 50% chance.

The current market cap of Bitcoin allows him to take a significant share in Bitcoin if he invests (for him) a relatively low amount of around $50 to $100 million in Bitcoin.

Look at him, the old man should stop worrying about investments and stuff. He needs to enjoy life and burn through his wealth by visiting hookers. What is life worth if you don't enjoy it with the wealth you have earned. These wealthy people are always looking for more. $40 billion must be $50 billion. After a while $50 billion must be $60 billion, and so on.

Buffett has been all about "value investing" for most of Berkshire Hathaway's existance.

 Bitcoin is FAR too speculative for him to have any liking for it.



Agreed. I think his position is mostly reasonable, to be honest. You know his saying about his aunt, that if he can't explain an investment to her he won't recommend it? I think that's a great policy, and I think it's only sensible that he stays away from  Bitcoin. (Obviously, I believe I can explain Bitcoin to my aunt, and I do hold and trade BTC).

Where I think he's gone too far is in attempting to explain Bitcoin. I'd have a lot more respect for him if he said something like "I don't understand Bitcoin, so I can't recommend it" instead of (paraphrasing) "I think I understand Bitcoin and it's like cheques or money orders or something and I wouldn't invest in them, so I can't recommend it".

Then why does he have such a strongly articulated view on bitcoin and why you shouldn't purchase it?  Would he really have replied with anything beyond a shrug and an admission of ignorance if this was not bitcoin up for discussion but the stock of some up and coming tech company? 

I'm in no way a believer in some sort of deep seated agenda being at play, but it does make you question why he feels the need to go out on a limb about something he admits to not being knowledgeable about.

Quote from: WarrenBuffet
It’s a method of transmitting money. It’s a very effective way of transmitting money and you can do it anonymously and all that. A check is a way of transmitting money, too. Are checks worth a whole lot of money just because they can transmit money?

Anyone who makes a statement as ignorant as that is the last person who you should look to for advice on the potential value of bitcoin.  Your track record means nothing if you haven't done your homework.
That is very true but the old school people always will look at the past track records to get their results from. To them this is proven, so they are taking no risk. That is the problem with the older generations, they don't want to take that risk if an investment isn't proven to yield profits for them during a certain amount of time.
To them bitcoin is just an experiment and they are watching and waiting until it's time has expired.
That of course is not going to happen.

By using this analogy its obvious he hasn't even done enough research to know that it is finite, scarce and able to be a store of value, however rudimentarily it fulfills that function at present.  What sort of an expert is that blase about giving advice on where you invest your money?

Warren Buffet saying bitcoin is a scam:

http://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffett-money-tips-for-2015-2014-12

How is this going to affect price?

Looks like up.  Buffet has one month to go before he is dead wrong.  Bitcoin began the year at 316.
This prediction is going to be busted in an immense way. It is surging now without a blip in the opposite direction. He is from old money, borned and raised on it, so what does he know that New Money is all about? He should renounce those words in an article for next months issue titled "I am stupid for assuming that bitcoin is a waste of time!".
Just in time before the new year of bitcoins success story starts.

Buffet is a smart guy but I would not take any advice from the elderly on new game changing tech related ideas, stocks, company, bitcoin...

Furthermore he often does the opposite what he is preaching.
