Billionaire investor Warren Buffett described bitcoin (BTC) as a “gambling token” in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday.
Echoing the dour opinion of the cryptocurrency that he has aired in the past, the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) chairman and CEO said bitcoin “doesn’t have any intrinsic value … but that doesn’t stop people from wanting to play the roulette wheel and think that if there’s a 37, you know, one zero or double zero, doesn’t make any difference. Yeah, it makes a difference,” “It’s a scores now path that eats up your money if you spend the rest of your life spinning around the roulette wheel.” “But they feature the winners and people get excited about it, and that’s why the slot machines make a lot of noise when they’re paying out.”
Commenting on gambling in general, Buffett said: “The urge to participate in something that looks like easy money is a human instinct which was always there.”
Buffett is well known to be no fan of bitcoin, having referred to it as “probably rat poison squared” in 2018.
