Why do so many billionaires consider Cryptocurrency to be a 'waste of time' and 'a joke', despite never having done research on the field?

For a bunch of rich, successful people they sure are ignorant.

Didn’t 90s boomers say the internet was stupid and would never take off? There’s a well known clip in the U.K. from some old tv show looking at new tech. They were featuring the new ‘compact disc’ and some boomer was sceptical if it would ‘catch on’.

Don’t listen to boomers about anything tech related.

To a billionaire or a hedge fund with literally tens of billions to swing around, crypto is simply not liquid enough for them to play with. That's why to them, it looks like a toy - because relatively speaking, it is.

Yeah Buffet stands out, there was a classic and very telling quote he made which basically puts this whole thing into perspective, I'll try to find it but it was something like:

"Of course I'm not going to buy Bitcoin, I don't understand it."

Also, look at his moves into gold recently, which are ironic considering what he's said about gold in the past. People make mistakes, they're not always right 100% of the time. Buffett is fabulously wealthy but his portfolio has done poorly for a while now. To err is human.

I'll concede to this point. But ask yourself, are you really vested into crypto for the groundbreaking technology or because of the lucrative opportunities its price action provides if you're willing to take the risk? Just some food for thought. Cheers lad.

>> No.22341389

>>22341255
I would argue that people invest into any derivative because of lucrative opportunities. They may like what they've invested in, but they're not going to invest in it if they think it's overvalued.

Blockchain technology I find incredibly fascinating. I didn't start investing until I fell in love with the technology which is something you can dedicate your life to understanding and being constantly intrigued by. Sure there are speculators mostly in it for the madgainz and they'll probably try to day trade it and will get burned. But there's always going to be the support level of people like me that genuinely love blockchain and bitcoin, accumulate and are long.

I thank God that the stupidest crypto (Bitcoin) was first. Since it's the number one asset in the space it is the one everyone looks at it and is unimpressed. They figure all the others must be copies of it, and they must be even worse cause their price is lower. I heard about ETH and was instantly interested. I didn't buy though unfortunately, but I started paying attention to crypto and I bought chainlink. Bitcoin is basically acting as a shield from smart people. This won't last much longer since now companies like Ernst and young, deloitte, microsoft, google etc. Are all beginning to deal with ethereum.

I don't understand people that see these stocks fly up, and then they keep going up further, and the bears keep telling them it's going to crash, months go by and no crash, then we hit a point where the stock price gets detached from reality completely, then we move to a point where the S&P500 begins to push further then where it was before (which was ALREADY at a bubble territory in the first place!), then you have a stock split, which is the last hurrah there could possibly be in this insane feeding frenzy.

And you expect the price to keep going up even further? Live and learn.

A store of value is a very significant use case. Studies are showing that this is where upcoming generations are storing their wealth. Having a system of currency that isn't controlled by the banks or fed, that is immutable, decentralized, digital is arguably going to be very intriguing to future investors, especially in the ever more digitized world.

Fiat is inflationary. People not educated in how money works slowly lose their purchasing power over time. That's why a riich someone who stored a bunch of cash under their mattress years ago won't be rich today. It's one of the reasons the rich get richer, and the wealth gap. Knowing how the system works.

The dollar is the global reserve currency and it will continue to be so basically because all other currencies aren't any better. But you can't inflate the price of currency forever. The dollar may not crash this decade, in fact it may never crash - but having a theoretically non-correlated hedge is prudent.
