Did Buffett buy virtual currency
The former richest man in the United States and the world, Warren Buffett, recently expressed his views on cryptocurrency at a general meeting of shareholders
"not everything is called investment. You pay attention to the investment itself and the value it proces, such as a house, an enterprise or even a farm. These are called investments because they generate added value. But digital currency and bitcoin are not. They don't proce any additional things. They are also virtual. Rather than investing in them, you hope that the next order will come soon. It's speculation, that's gambling. "
" I started buying stocks at the age of 11, stock market crash, technology bubble, bear market and financial crisis, all of which I have experienced. I don't know when and why the bad results will happen, but what I know is that I won't invest in bitcoin. In the future, bitcoin may become a situation that all investors do not want to see. "
Warren Buffett really has his own unique view. When American blue chip companies and IBM began to accept blockchain and develop it, multi gold Warren Buffett still didn't buy this encryption technology. Of course, he has been singing down bitcoin more than once. On many public occasions, Buffett has been expressing his idea of not looking at bitcoin
in fact, considering the short position explosion of 460000 bitcoin by a well-known trading platform before, what Buffett said is not unreasonable
the biggest slogan of bitcoin is nothing more than" decentralization ", but in the end, it still has to rely on the [centralized] currency exchange. As a result, it has been teased and become leeks to be cut
I think blockchain may change the world, but it is definitely not used in cryptocurrency such as bitcoin
The answer is yes. < / EM >
① the rise of Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett does not look at the valuation, only looks at the quarterly financial statements, and makes analysis and investment according to the quarterly financial statements. Only if the investment cycle is long enough can quarterly analysis work
Therefore, most of his investments are in instries closely related to our lives, such as banking, medicine, oil and beverage. These are traditional instries that everyone touches every day. These companies can maintain a good upward trendand digital currency is more difficult to understand than the Internet of things. Digital currency has no concept of cash flow and quarterly financial statements. It can only carry out basic valuation according to the comparison of similar projects, and there is no clear valuation model
based on financial statements, Warren Buffett certainly can't accept such a minimalist financial report, an incomprehensible and imprecise economic model, which may be explained only by a fraud in his eyes. In Buffett's eyes, digital currency has no intrinsic value support
I agree with Warren Buffett's view and statement
In an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, January 10, Mr. Buffett said: "it's almost certain that digital currency will end in tragedy. I will never hold any digital currency myself. But I don't know the form of tragedy. "“ If I could buy a five-year put option on all cryptocurrencies, I'd be happy to do it, but I'll never be short at all. " In explaining why he didn't short, Buffett hinted that he didn't understand digital currency and asked, "why should I long or short something I don't understand at all?" Interestingly, one day before Buffett's remarks, Dimon, the king of Wall Street who lashed out at bitcoin and other digital currencies last year, took a big turn < / blockquote >

The main reasons why Warren Buffett does not invest in bitcoin are as follows:
1 He doesn't understand why bitcoin is so valuable, which is beyond his cognitive scope Mr. Buffett is a value investor. He will not invest in things that are overvalued
the biggest focus of the general meeting of shareholders of Warren Buffett should be on the topic of bitcoin. Warren Buffett didn't express any opinions. Munger attacked bitcoin. Both the two old people showed their disapproval of bitcoin, which surprised many people. The main reason why Warren Buffett doesn't invest in bitcoin is that he is not familiar with bitcoin, and he will not invest in things that are not familiar with experts of this level; There is no reference for bitcoin. The price is so high that it is beyond his cognitive range. Warren Buffett is a value investor. He basically buys bitcoin when the stock price is low. It is obvious that bitcoin is not undervalued.

I have a very good friend from the beginning of University. He is good at everything, that is, he has a very persistent pursuit of money. When I was in school, I began to get in touch with stock speculation. At the beginning, I made a little money. Later, I graally lost myself in the stock market and lost a lot of money. After the failure of the stock market, I started to play bitcoin again. These years, I have wasted time between the stock market and bitcoin. Personally, I don't watch bitcoin. The God of stock & mdash; Buffett is not particularly optimistic about bitcoin, and he refuses to discuss bitcoin. What is the situation
< blockquote >up to now, it's rare to have negative comments on bitcoin. But Buffett and Munger are obviously the most famous of them. In fact, it's not that Buffett hates bitcoin so much, but that he hates any investment proct that can't generate sustainable cash flow. This is determined by the investment philosophy of Buffett. Buffett's investment philosophy has achieved great success, especially in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States. Purchasing enterprises with continuous cash flow has basically become the standard configuration of value investment. Value investment also constitutes one of the cornerstones of modern investment philosophy. But any investment idea is applicable. For example, Newton's classical mechanics only applies to the macro world, not to the micro world and high-speed world. Buffett's investment philosophy is very suitable for enterprises that can continuously generate cash flow, but it can't be applied to enterprises that can't generate cash flow in the short term

I don't know why Buffett refused to discuss bitcoin, but I think it may be that he doesn't value bitcoin very much
