Warren Buffet in 2014: “Bitcoin is a mirage, stay away from it”. Today Bitcoin Price Is Sevenfold Higher

One of the biggest risks of being successful is arrogance. Based on your prior successful endeavors, you tend to become more and more opinionated and try bolder and bolder scenarios. One of the most successful persons in this world, Warren Buffet, made such a bold claim in 2014:

hahaha

he gave his opinion, I two weeks ago I read many comments from economists who said that it was the end of bitcoin, that bitcoin would fall to $900and many things that today I have not seen

the same thing can be said of the people who said that by the end of the year bitcoin will be worth $10.000, this will be impossible in my opinion

the problem is that people when they do bitcoin analysis ignore the pros and cons that bitcoin has at that moment

for example the $10.000 question by the end of the year, whoever did this prediction completely ignored the problem we will have in November

There's a warren buffet on Twitter, not sure if it's the real person or not but he is always suggesting purchasing LTC

Lmao that is an obvious fake. Why would Warren Buffet recommend Litecoin when he said Bitcoin is a mirage?
I tried to warn all the Warren Buffet fanboys to stay away from any advice he had to say about Bitcoin and crypto in general. He is simply too old. He isn't cut for the job. His time is over and he should stick to things he know, which he does, but sometimes he is a bit of an idiot by having opinions on things he doesn't know, so he should have keep his mouth shut. Now he will be rendered as another idiot that missed the boat.

On other news, it looks like Peter Schiff may be changing his position a bit about Bitcoin:

Im sure he holds BTC already and has hold it for a long time even if he has been against it in public.

for traditional investment method, warren buffet knows it all, he could really grasp and predict the market. unlike in bitcoin and cryptocurrency where it heavily rely on computer network, and blockchain technology was new at that time to Mr. Buffet and he has no knowledge abut it, that's why he release that statement without knowing the importance of blockchain to bitcoin, and 3 years ago today, Mr. Buffet was wrong and many modern financial tech companies admired the beauty of blockchain technology and they are adapting it to their business infrastructure.

Like they say all that glitters is not gold, and all that buffet says is not true and right but people yet follow him madly and I can imagine all the people who would not have brought Bitcoin thanks to him, might be cursing their luck as to why did they listen to him. Then again there is one more scenario what if he just said it and brought it outside without telling anyone. He could have brought it through offshore companies who knows the richer you are more the ways.

HODLing is an art, not just a word...

many others have said similar things. it never made it true. no matter who they are.
many also said bitcoin will be $10,000 in a couple of years back then, that didn't make that true any more either.

all we know is that bitcoin has a lot of potential. it is still experimental to some extent but this experiment has grown too big that it has become very serious now.
you can not deny the big possibility of a good future ahead of bitcoin. there are going to be bumps on the road but it will rise big time like this year.

if Sevenfold=7x, so did he say it when bitcoin was $650ish? i remember 2014 was a bit lower at $500 and that is more of a 9-10 x rise.

I sincere think his shortsightedness should be over looked because he has always been a bricks and mortar man and for same reason he saw a comparison between Bitcoin and a check, times are changed now and new things taking over. Overall I think it was providence at work for us, because if he had seen the true picture of things, most of us would have already been priced out of the equation.

Warren Buffet made a mistake in his comments. meaning that you are already an expert and have proven that you should not be proud. Always humble as you go to good life. We know that Warren is a successfull buisnessman and many have proven. Now what does he think? did he eat his comrades? And now we know that warren has invested in bitcoins.

Maximum people were skeptical about Bitcoin in 2014. Many are still today, but number has gradually decreased this year. In 2014, approximately some 1-2 million people were in Bitcoin and was completely a new commodity. Anyone would think that it will fail. Warren Buffet is indeed good with stocks and shares. But cryptocurrencies are way different from them and during that time governments were also wary of Bitcoin and were advising people to stay away from them. Anyone could feel that Bitcoin won't survive. Bitcoin has always been unpredictable.

I doubt very much that he did not put his money in bitcoins. Really he is a graduate of the old school and cannot immediately respond to the new reality, but his instinct is there anyway and I am sure that he did not give up this opportunity. He will not tell you this because such people is very difficult to admit his mistake.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.

Probably an old school based analysis? or he understood what Bitcoin could potentially do, panicked & lost control of his rational mind.

The Bitcoin story is far from finished. Warren could yet be proven correct on this. I'm not saying he is but manias and bubbles can last a very long time, even a decade or more, before they explode.

If you have money and strong power to control graph in a minutes it doesn't mean you can predict what will happen in the future, same in here, even Warren is a great investor it doesn't mean his every words is true.

Maybe he changed his mind and start joining us too Grin

He probably changed his mind and started investing in bitcoin after that statement. Being one of the most successful man in the world doesn't mean you know everything and doesn't mean your always right. btw he's and idiot to say that bitcoin can be replicated in bunch of different ways

Warren Buffet is probably the best long-term stock market investor but that doesn't mean he is infallible. Anyway, I think his opinions on investment in general should be considered. Most of us in this forum probably don’t agree with him in this point but would be quite happy to have a tenth of his wealth. Besides, other great investors like Richard Branson or Bill Gates don’t agree with him.

It would be interesting to know if he keeps thinking the same though.
