Yesterday, billionaire investor Ray Dalio was interviewed by Andrew Ross Sorkin, co-anchor of CNBC’s Squawk Box. During the interview, Dalio shared his views on cryptocurrency more traditionally and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular.
“I think it’s been, you know, quite amazing that for 12 years it’s accomplished but I think it has no relation to anything. It’s a tiny thing that gets disproportionate attention,” stated Dalio. “It’s not going to be an effective money. It’s not an effective store hold of wealth. It’s not an effective medium of exchange.”
Dalio thinks that a digital currency that is linked to inflation would be a better option than Bitcoin. “If you created a coin that reveals okay, this is buying power that I know I could save in and put my money and over a period of time and then I can transact in anywhere, I think that that would be a good coin. I do not think Bitcoin (BTC) is it,” he said.
In an op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal that was released on Wednesday (1 February 2023), Charlie Munger, the billionaire vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate controlled by Warren Buffett, wrote that Bitcoin (BTC) should be banned:
“Instead, it’s a gambling contract with a nearly 100 percent edge for the house, entered into in a country where gambling contracts are traditionally regulated only by states that compete in laxity… The United States should now enact a new federal law that prevents this from happening.“
