The ancient vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Charlie Munger is also known as the right hand of Warren Buffet being a straightforward person who has no regrets in saying that he hates crypto currency. The 98-year-old investing icon at the annual meeting for Los Angeles-based newspaper company Daily Journal Corporation while speaking at a question and answer session of the shareholder, correlated cryptocurrency to a sexually transmitted disease named venereal.
“I certainly didn’t invest in crypto. I’m proud of the fact that I avoided it. It’s like some venereal disease.”
Munger picks up the threads to show his distaste for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies by saying that “I wish it had been banned immediately…I admire the Chinese for banning it. I think they were right and we were wrong to allow it.”
Both Munger and Buffet left no words to criticize and understate Cryptocurrency. Previously, Buffet has mocked Bitcoin for being such a sluggish asset that it “does not create anything”, he said that Bitcoin is a “rat poison” and said that it is nothing more than a “delusion that attracts charlatans.”
Berkshire Hathaway’s new investment theory does not show a single thought of Munger’s imaginative depiction of cryptocurrency. In fact, Berkshire Hathaway’s acknowledgment of the cryptocurrency is quite good.
