Some people obviously don't understand Bitcoin, some have a hard time understanding gold - but at least they could read the title or the OP and avoid to write nonsense that WB bought physical gold which is completely untrue. He bought a single share in Barrick Gold worth $565 million, which is still a big difference for those who think that a man buys gold bars and puts them in a vault.

If WB miraculously invested in Bitcoin, then he would probably buy shares in a crypto company - that's his way of doing business, after all.

I thought I was clear enough in stating this, but apparently not everyone carded to read the whole post, or the following pages.
For this exact reasons I added a few graph of the OP, the one detailing the performance of SPX in gold terms, that is a clear explanation of the underlying reason why he decided to invest in "gold" (and the exact reason why I decided to invest in bitcoin, but that's another story).

he already has 80 billion assets, and of course very overpowering when compared to the daily trading volume of bitcoin which ranges from 20 billion USD.

the gold standard is indeed more stable and better to be used as an asset in the amount of billions of dollars, if you buy bitcoin, of course you will experience depression if you have to always check the price of BTC, while gold, tends to rise even though it is small.

He is almost 90 years old and he may not be open to much experimenting now. The fact that he is turning to the most stable asset in the history of mankind proves that he is done with his investments. At this point, it will be idiotic to expect Buffet to invest in a stable and unregulated asset such as Bitcoin, or for that matter any other cryptocurrency.

Lots of people talk about Warren Buffett when deciding to buy Gold, even though it's not our business. I don't care
with Warren Buffett willing to buy Gold or not, even now Warren Buffett has no desire to buy Bitcoin, it doesn't matter
to me. Since Warren Buffett wants to use wealth for his own sake, we have no right to influence him.
Indeed. Warren Buffet doesn't have any interest or desire buying Bitcoin, since the day people have invited and encourage him to try buying bitcoin because he thinks bitcoin is not suitable for long-term investment due to its volatility that it is very unpredictable. Unlike Gold, the value of it is much stable and better as a haven asset.

We might not able to see what Warren Buffet had foreseen to the market in the coming year/s. There is something a reason why He started to buy Gold than seeing the potentiality of Bitcoin. I don't think that he's done a deal with Bitcoin and rejected it for the whole life but he might able to consider the risk in the future. We can say that Warren is wrong talking about Bitcoin, about crypto, declining a chance to get involved but he might have a reason for this, we know neither.

Warren must see a big picture for gold, the next news will come that he is now buying Bitcoin for the future technology.
He is a businessman and it caught his attention. Gold is really a store of value, less volatile, unlike Bitcoin. But I believe that he's observing Bitcoin as well and could catch its interest soon.

Buffet knows the shit  coming towards us is bigger than what we all think and $2k/ounce for gold is still cheap that's why he is buying now.

Finally he realized this thing and I’m sure he don’t want to miss out to earn big money by investing on Gold. The economy are failing and many countries are suffering because of the pandemic and because of their own government, but since Gold is everything this has been a safe haven for the stock investors. Warren must see a big picture for gold, the next news will come that he is now buying Bitcoin for the future technology.

If you want to understand why Buffet decided to dump the industry the closest to the US Fiat shitcoin, while buying the industry closest to the real Store of Value, look at the following two graph:

This graph should ring a few bells

I am a person who admires the figure of Warren Buffett, even though he is a Bitcoin hater. Because I'm not a typical person who likes to force
my will, we must not blame or hate Warren Buffett for not investing in Bitcoin. Let him decide the best for him, and if in the end Warren Buffett
buys Gold for the first time, congratulations to him. Maybe he just really understood and believed in Gold, so he decided to buy Gold. It's the
same with Bitcoin, if he has really understand about Bitcoin. Definitely going to buy Bitcoin, because it is only natural that people will invest
that he or she really knows.

Buffet is one of the most respected business tycoon in the world and if there is a chance that he accumulated crypto secretly it will after his dining with Justin Sun cause he was giving his first bitcoin by him and with the price sense of bitcoin when the pandemic issue was high Buffet may have give in to crypto secretly.
About his Gold investment this wont be his first time.

Warren Buffet represents "the real money owner". Buffett's change in investment strategy is hard code that some people don't understand about the strategy used by America and the makers of the international economic system for balancing the dollar amount printed, with the project or collaterals so that there is no more subprime mortgage-type case. America realizes that printing money, especially for direct cash assistance to overcome the pandemic, is a step towards a decrease in the value of the dollar and inflation, therefore the price of gold rises.

In order to reduce the disparity in the printing of money and avoid the potential for depression, the method taken by the owners of the system was to increase their gold reserves and increase the price of gold. As a price maker, it is certainly easy for America to pump up the price of gold so that in the end the ratio of gold owned by America is not unequal with the printed dollars.

Mhh not too sure I fully got the sens of your message. But for sure there is something I don't agree with.
Buffet Strategy is clearly an example of someone that fully understands what it is going on.
US are printing money like crazy. Every money aggregate M1, M2 and so on is on parabolic growth, as it is FED balance sheet.

M1 looks even more aggressive

Not really a good decision coming  from one of the so called best investor of our generation, gold is not for me the best assets or commodity to buy today when there are a lot of Fintech and start up and promising assets like Crypto, but we all know Buffet he doesn't profit anymore at his old age even though people are shouting Crypto is the next big thing.

Gold mining is a bit of a secure investment imo...

And you're not just investing in the gold, you're investing in the infrastructure which can be sold on if necessary or leased. Even if the price of gold falls, margins are still probably the same.

He probably won't be alive at a point where he'd choose to invest in bitcoin mining, and he probably already holds bitcoin(?) What stopped him holding $1 million worth and just keeping it parked? Berkshire aren't going to buy bitcoin anytime soon - in any meaningful amount I doubt bitcoin could absorb it.

This does actually mean though that Warren buffet has turned away from real estate and to gold - does he think new York Real Estate won't be growing for a while? Is he worried of another banking crisis? Most people say house prices should fall between 6 months and a year - perhaps this is his bet on that...
There is an article pointing out that gold mining is not really profitable as people usually think. Most of the mine is out of stocks and those gold companies consider that finding a new mine will cost them huge money for new infrastructures and facilities. Well, although Warren Buffet is a legend in investing, I doubt that he can make a clear decision when he is getting older years by years. However, we can't deny his impacts on the economy since every investment he makes can easily cause a big FOMO in the investing world.

People only likes to invest in things they know about and understand fully. I don’t think anyone, even you, that knows what they are doing will be investing his or her money in something that they don’t know about, and the way I see it Warren Buffet doesn’t know much about cryptocurrency, and that’s based on some facts I have seen before. He doesn’t know much about Bitcoin, he doesn’t understand it, so he chose to invest in something that he believes in and we should let him be.

I still believe that as time goes on, most of these big investors that don’t like Bitcoin will come to understand it very well and then start to invest in it. They all have their advisors I believe, and maybe one day it will be something they will be discussing.

Buffet is a veteran investor who is notoriously idealistic, I believe that until Buffett dies, he will not invest in Bitcoin.

Buffet is too old for crypto. If he want to just buy gold and not invest in btc then it his own right
there is no young or old in crypto investing...
Since the beginning Buffet did not really like cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, Buffett has made several statements insulting Bitcoin;
Quote
Buffet said, Bitcoin doesn't do anything, it's just like a clam or something. For me, it's not an investment, it's just a gambling tool.

Eloncoin.org - Mars, here we come!
Buffett gets rich and he believes in what he has learned. The truth is he is old and I think he changed his opinion. Also in 2019, he was fooled $ 340 million into the clean energy company DC Solar of the couple Jeff and Paulette Carpoff in California (USA). He let Elon Musk pass and dropped quickly. Buffett has sold out all of his aviation shares. Previously he thought gold was not something worth investing in, but now he's changed. Maybe in a few years he will buy bitcoin.
Changing strategies according to the condition is really important for an investors to make profits and that is what actually he is doing, he knows that aviation companies are going to be in huge crisis for few more years so he switches to something better which is gold at the moment.Probably there will not be enough time for him to invest on the bitcoin due to age factor but if someone follows his strategy will do that in future when bitcoin is about to make a huge change.

His life will not be enough to see bitcoin actually become something huge. Dude is 89 years old, even on the best of terms I can see him go for maybe 10 more years which I really doubt but even if he does that in 10 years bitcoin will not be something super standard and adopted, it will be bigger than what we have right now but it will not be so common that everyone will be using it everywhere, hence I believe that warren doesn't have enough life left in him to see bitcoin soar.

Bitcoin becoming a standard everywhere and the world becoming a lot more online (which is happening right now) instead of actually going out to spend, it will be a lot more than 10 years, it will probably be 20-30 years before that happens. Remember 2010, it wasn't that long ago and we didn't really have too much life changes since that moment, but check 1990 or 2000 and you can see how much we changed, so in 10 years life doesn't change drastically but when you go back 20-30 years it does actually change a lot.
