Demystifying Crypto Series: Why Does Warren Buffett Hate Bitcoin So Much?

cryptocurrency Apr 17, 2020

Cryptocurrency’s stability is something a lot of people question. Just like everything new, people’s reaction most of the time depends on how respected and trusted people view it. Warren Buffett is no stranger to risk, he’s been doing it all his life and with that in mind, one may believe he’s open to the latest investment in the digital age: bitcoin. Surprisingly though, he has a lot of feelings towards this trend, and it’s not very nice. In this vlog, I talk about the reasons why Warren Buffett feels that way, and how there could be a possibility that over time, as cryptocurrency proves its worth, it may be worth the risk after all. We’d love to hear your thoughts about Bitcoin too!

My Thoughts on Facebook’s New Cryptocurrency: Libra

I think Facebook just created the Facebook of Cryptocurrency. Yes, that would make Bitcoin the Myspace of the crypto world.

Let me explain.

If you haven’t heard, Facebook announced that they will be joining with 100 different partners including companies like Mastercard, Uber and PayPal. I think the best summary from Libra’s whitepaper that explains the currency is in these 3 core points:

  1. It is built on a secure, scalable, and reliable blockchain;

  2. It is backed by a reserve of assets designed to give it intrinsic value;

  3. It is governed by the independent Libra Association tasked with evolving the ecosystem.

Before I began to invest, I wanted to understand what it is and how it works and why in the world something could escalate in value so fast.

These conversations took me down a path of questions that included:

  • What is money?

  • Why is money worth anything?

  • Why do banks exist?

  • Can money be worth something one day and nothing the next?

  • Do we need a new kind of money?

  • What is blockchain?

  • Is it really possible to build a...
