What is strange is that he has a wide range of investments, which will inevitably include a share of Bitcoin, but given his age and the profits he may make from investments in Bitcoin, 10 years (the average waiting to achieve good profits from Bitcoin) is a long period for Buffett.
I would not agree that you should wait 10 years to make a good profit when it comes to Bitcoin, because at the end of 2022 the price of 1 BTC was around $15 500 and now it is close to $70 000. Back in 2014 (that's exactly 10 years ago), Buffett called Bitcoin
a"mirage", and at that time 1 BTC was worth about 70 times less than today.
Stay away from it. It’s a mirage, basically,” he said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Friday.
Also, his statements do not interact positively or negatively with the market compared to the wealthy people of the new generation, such as Elon Musk.
The reason is very simple, Buffett is not interesting to younger generations and he is not on social networks (at least as far as I know), while Mr. Mars needs to be constantly in the center of attention. However, I believe that Buffett has harmed Bitcoin with the more conservative audience that trusts him. I just hope that after 10 years everyone clearly sees how wrong he was, because Bitcoin is still here, and Buffett is slowly turning into a mirage.
