Some wealthy people have expressed their disdain towards Bitcoin. They believe Bitcoin is a scam or Ponzi scheme backed by nothing. Figures like Warren Buffet, and even Donald Trump himself believe Bitcoin is a sham. I'm surprised to see this, since Bitcoin brings many profit opportunities to its "hodlers". For some reason, millionaires (or billionaires) hate Bitcoin. They usually support Gold and Fiat, not wanting to try something new like crypto/Blockchain tech. Justin Sun tried to convince Warren Buffet to get into crypto a while ago, only to find that his efforts were in vain.
Thoughts?
Some poor people, some middle income people have expressed their disdain towards bitcoin also. Does that mean
all do? Of course not. Ditto for "rich" people. Plenty of rich, middle income, and poor people like the promise of bitcoin. Plenty of the same don't like it. It is meaningless to extrapolate from the likes of Buffett to make many conclusions based on his level of wealth.
The reason why is simple: people have their own areas of expertise and are entrenched in it in many ways. There were a ton of people in 2009 and 2010 who hated bitcoin, and most of them were tech people who didn't have a deep enough understanding of it to realize the potential. It has been the same every year since: there are a lot of people who say "tulips", "ponzi" and "scam" and there are plenty of people who understand the benefits and who know that bitcoin has the ability to let people protect their assets from the greedy, grasping hand of politicians of the authoritarian (fascist, socialist, communist etc) stripe.
One key point is that many of the people who don't like bitcoin - e.g. Buffett (2 Ts), Soros et al - have a vested interest in the status quo and the ability to have a hidden inflation tax on everyone. Others (such as Trump) haven't had the benefits properly explained to them and have advisors who don't want to explain the benefits properly.
