He has been through many bubbles

Warren has seen it all int the financial markets many times but I don't think that qualifies buffet is a tech expert. Peter Thiel knows his way around Tech.
I do think that there are plenty of Alt coins are going to zero

Yeah Buffet only just recently invested into Apple. Thiel is the guy that would know tech investing better than others. In the time he took that early FB investment (2003) it looked like many blockchain start ups today.

Appeal to authority - fail. Identifying asset bubbles is not a matter of tech experience, the properties of a bubble are universal in speculative markets: people are buying something solely on the expectation or hope of price increases.

I love Buffet and I think he is really smart, but i'm sure that he can't understand bitcoin that why he said that, if you look at gold marketcap its almost $7 trillion and bitcoin is barely $99 billion, this marketcap is lower than some Brazilian banks. So in my oppinion there is no bubble in bitcoin rigth now.

What would you rather own a Brazilian bank or Bitcoin. I know which one I would choose : ) Bitcoin - no contest

False dichotomy, both are terrible choices.

All his holdings in Berkshire are denoted in government currencies so the relative value of his holdings has dropped relative to those holding digital currencies, so of course, he doesn't like it.

Thanks for this post. And for the irrelevant dinosaur assclowns like buffett and diman: No one gives a crap what you think discredited banking fraudsters

Asset bubbles are asset bubbles, regardless of how much you insult the people pointing that out.

Definition of a bubble: people buying an asset in the expectation of price increases, not in response to changes in value.

Do you actually think Warren Buffet is a "banking fraudster?" Do you even know who Warren Buffet is?

Isn't everything in a bubble right now?

Isn't this the same rhetoric these guys have been spouting for years?, wonder how many years bitcoin has to consecutively increase before they change their tune?

Robert Shiller, 1996: the stock market is in a speculative bubble.

Media, 1998: So, Shiller, the stock market is up, you were wrong.

Stock market, 2000: Implodes.

The fundamental property of an asset bubble has been met for most of Bitcoin's existence: people are only buying it because they think it will go up in price, not based on the value that its network provides.

my positive view is... if bitcoin is a bubble==>in water/coca cola/beer etc, a bubbel goes up==> so bitcoin goes up.... So for me, bitcoin is a bubble. (just another point of view) ;-)

he is not in it,,,, Yet ! Lol

he is not in it,,,, Yet ! Lol

Buffett has always made it clear that he will steer clear of investing in anything he doesn't understand. He didn't invest in Amazon for that reason and look at Jeff Bezos now. I wouldn't pay Warren too much attention if he doesn't know a lot about the industry/ company but I would pay special attention when he does. In the case of Bitcoin you can disregard what he says. He said himself he doesn't understand the value of it. He didn't of Amazon either.

Amazon has never made a profit, despite ~$1.50 in government subsidies per package they ship. You've just made the argument that Warren Buffet doesn't invest in unsound businesses/asset classes.

And what's the reason for that.. Oh yeah because they reinvest all profits in order to grow the business further. First class idiot.

Nice post with lots of information about Bitcoin.

Great post as usual! Would like to hear your idea on using Ledger Nano S to navigate through the Bitcoin forks.

Hey ,

Yes, Bitcoin is in a bubble. A bubble develops when people are buying something expecting the price to rise and that activity drives the price beyond what is justified by any rational valuation.

It's hard to tell how much Bitcoin is overvalued, drastically superior 2nd generation cryptos could also be undervalued, even severely undervalued. Either way, there's far too much risk holding Bitcoin, when either its price needs to correct downward, much of the rest of the market needs to correct upward, or both.

Great post as usual! Would like to hear your idea on using Ledger Nano S to navigate through the Bitcoin forks.

He is saying that for years...
