The chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) reaffirmed his pessimistic view of cryptocurrencies, saying that while Bitcoin &#8220;doesn\u2019t have any intrinsic value,&#8221;&nbsp;people still want to play the roulette wheel. Buffett,&nbsp;in a statement about gambling in general, noted that &#8220;the urge to participate in something that looks like easy money is a human instinct which was always there.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinwisdom.com\/coinbase-wins-470k-restitution-in-insider-trading-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crypto market<\/a> has recently seen a significant surge. According to Messari, bitcoin, and Ethereum are up 61% and 35%, respectively, although they are still about 56% and 36% behind their record highs reached in November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 92-year-old Buffet is an open critic of Bitcoin. He once described it as &#8220;probably rat poison squared&#8221; in 2018. Buffet\u2019s strong opinions about Bitcoin are shared by his longtime colleague and his top deputy, Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Charlie Munger, who has been even more vocal about his dislike of cryptocurrencies. Munger previously demanded that the United States follow China and ban cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Munger described cryptocurrencies as a &#8220;gambling contract with a nearly 100% edge for the house, entered into in a country where gambling contracts are traditionally regulated only by states that compete in laxity.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy (MSTR), said Munger and other prominent Western business leaders haven\u2019t had the time to research cryptocurrencies, hence their criticism. Saylor remarked that &#8220;If [Munger] were a business leader in South America, Africa, or Asia and he spent 100 hours studying the problem, he would be more bullish on bitcoin than I am.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the slight recovery witnessed in the market, crypto experts believe the mounting regulatory pressure will decide the long-term future of the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warren Buffett, a multibillionaire investor, called bitcoin (BTC) a &#8220;gambling token&#8221; in an&nbsp;interview&nbsp;with CNBC on Wednesday.
