“Of course I hate the bitcoin success,” Berkshire vice chair Charlie Munger said.

Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Charlie Munger railed against bitcoin in Berkshire’s annual meeting Saturday, calling the cryptocurrency — which Munger and longtime partner Warren Buffett have excoriated for years — “disgusting and contrary to the interests of civilization.” ...

Munger was less diplomatic: He said he hates bitcoin’s recent gains, arguing the currency was “created out of thin air” and is a go-to payment method for criminals.“I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful to kidnappers and extortionists,” Munger said. “I think the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interests of civilization.”“I’m gonna dodge that question,” Buffett said.

I can only understand why he’d say that because he’s older than the dollar itself

Wait until someone tells him about NFTs

Bitcoin is currently consuming more electricity than the entire State of New York.

What’s disgusting is how these big whales of Wall Street don’t want the average retail investors to have access to the same trading opportunities that they do. They are mad that the old ways are being disrupted and that they are losing control of the market

Bitcoin, Big Tech, COVID-19, Capitalism are different reflections of absolute evil.

He’s right to a degree but we have to move with the times. Governments will be reluctant to get on board with btc because of the criminality aspect and because they can’t control it, so the long term viability is still unknown.
