You could've added about electricity as well, didn't everyone say "omg that's just a nasty way to accidentally kill yourself with it" and "no one will have any use of that magic shit".

Look where we are now. Cheesy

Assume that people who like bitcoin think they are better than you... no, assume that people who own bitcoin do it to be better than you .
So bitcoin users have a superiority complex towards others that don't use it? Lips sealed

He was right to a certain extent, but he failed to realize that comparing bitcoin to checks isn't valid, since bitcoin is limited in it's number.
If there were magical checks that complete transfer of money as fast as bitcoin, and if they were capped at 21 million as well, they as well would have value to them.
This W.B. has no logical thinking to his head, i'm surprised he even achieved anything in his life.

You can't say the great Warren Buffet has no logical thinking. He got to where he is today BECAUSE of his thinking. He's a great man with great views. Don't judge him just because his views on BTC differ from yours.

He got to where he is today because his father already owned a brokerage. If he was an average Joe, he would be still washing cars probably.
The only reason he (and his alikes) is talking bad about bitcoin is because it's something that he obviously doesn't understand. Also, he is protecting his fiat and stock assets by doing so.
People should always question those in power, w/o that there is no progress to be made.

They're not necessarily protecting their assets. If they truly believe in the coin, they could easily use their billions to invest in the coin and make more profit because of it. And yes some of Buffet's money is inherited but it's his stock investment desioisn that made him more money and the man that he is today.

"The idea it has some huge intrinsic value is just a joke in my view."

For everyone doubting Bitcoin or who assumes it isn't going to go anywhere, may I kindly cross-quote this youtube video taken from another thread featuring Bitcoin girl! She will help you - and Warren - make a more well founded decision - do your research or shut up about Bitcoin (including Warren).

You are right. These old fart billionaires only talk smack about bitcoin because they want to protect their own investments.

You can cherry pick quotes to make anyone look like a hero or moron.

This.

All OP is doing is advertising for a known Monero shill, American Pegasus.

Why he would want to do this is beyond me.

Awesome post! Just shows again that new technology does not always seem that useful to the masses at first, but prove to be absolutely neccesairy only a couple of decades later.

I have no doubt bitcoin / blockchain will be used to base the new money / transaction systems on.

I am very impressed at how far bitcoin has gone so far. I thought it was pure BS when I heard about it in 2011.

if they were directly in charge of bitcoin, or more appassionate about the technology they are bashing, and not against it because they were idolize the opposite of it

then they would have a completely different statment about the matter, in other words this worlds is full of haters no-sense nothing new

haha you made a pretty good job, with your permission i will take your picture and use it on some social networks Tongue

As with any new technology, there will be doubt, distrust and lack of general interest. I believe bitcoin is here to stay, don't listen to the naysayers.
Nice compilation there OP

shhh don't let others to understand it yet,that way we will get more time collect more bitcoins Tongue

Haha , I have to admit that you did pretty good work on collecting all those quotes (If it's you) , you may wanna try Reddit that you will get shitload of up-votes .
The point is , we will go to the moon either they like or not .

Actually it was on Reddit 12 hours ago. As for the up-votes, not as much as I'd thought, the pic got only 151.

I'm sure there many more examples like this to be found. Sure I saw some similar ones about the internet and mobile phones. Would be good to add more examples.

Warren s gonna eat his own words in less then a year. I really do not understand how such an influential person can be so shortsighted.

Do you think he understands or cares? He'll be dead long before it ever gets rolling properly. As he doesn't invest in any tech at all it stands to reason that BTC would be even less appealing.
