Buffett Disciple Calls Out the Oracle of Omaha

Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist who has called himself a Warren Buffett "disciple," has come out against Buffett's pessimistic views on cryptocurrencies. Palihapitiya told CNBC that, despite his respect for the Oracle of Omaha, he thinks Buffett missed the mark on cryptocurrencies. According to Palihapitiya, "Something like bitcoin is really important because it is not correlated to the rest of the market." Palihapitiya continued on Buffett, adding that, "Not everybody is right all the time," and noting that bitcoin is outside Buffett's "circle of competence." Buffett most recently called bitcoin "probably rat poison squared," and has before likened it to a gamble instead of an investment.

Crypto Could 'Fuel a New Internet'

Alexis Ohanian, founder of Reddit, said bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have the power to "fuel a potential new internet," even with their volatile trading nature. Ohanian, who made the comments as a guest on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, posed the notion of crypto as a "store of value not backed by a single country." The founder said the real utility in something like bitcoin is extending financial inclusion to the underserved, primarily in undeveloped countries. "For so many people in the world to have that security of knowing what's yours is yours - because [cryptocurrency] is now digital, it can be transferred with you wherever you are going - is actually pretty empowering," Ohanian said.
