Point is this technology will be applied to other things that will work for a few years too then slowly give up to newer and better technology.

He understands it well enough to tell people to stay away.
"Buffett chooses the examples of the car and aviation industries. Many people saw the revolutionary potential of these inventions, but such clairvoyance would be worthless to an investor if he chose the wrong car company. The same goes for aviation — which has notoriously been a difficult industry to profit from, despite its revolutionary effect on society.
And by this logic, Buffett is right to be skeptical of Bitcoin. Whether you hope to profit from the rise of cryptocurrencies by investing in Bitcoin itself, or companies that would profit from Bitcoin’s ascendence like the Andreessen-backed Coinbase, you’re going to need to know more than just the fact that cryptocurrencies will change the world to make money."

I don't believe it is the same thing. The bitcoin is not just company to invest in, it goes deeper than that. It changes the fundamental of money......When I used warren buffet quote, I was referring to investing in general terms not in one particular investment, company, etc....
Bitcoin is one of a multitude of coins. The "disruptive technology" is replicable (see: CloneCoin). For free, because open source
Bitcoin isn't just number or coin, it changes how we spend money more preferably transfer money (with nearly zero fees)
Yea bro awesome, I send a micro transfer and I wait over an hour for 2 confirmations lmfaooo Fuck it, let's let this centralized currency be run my mining farms and pools just destroying bitcoin!!! This experiment might have actually worked if they didn't come out with ASICs... Bitcoin & the alts just all turned into scams instead of being a napster type system where we can all exchange whatever we want without third parties raping us!
Something great will be created from all of this, I promise you, unfortunately bitcoin is not the solution but rather the stepping stone
