Warren Buffett has long been dismissive of Bitcoin, even going so far as to call it “rat poison squared.” But he has never really explained why he dislikes Bitcoin and doesn’t see it as a worthy investment.
According to a video posted by the Tron Foundation, Buffett explained why he wouldn’t buy Bitcoin at his recent meal with Tron CEO Justin Sun—that eventually happened earlier this month.
“[Buffett] believes people get protection from stocks and equity,” the video states. “Bitcoin is simply a changing hands activity with no value added.”
The video continues, relaying Buffett’s belief that Bitcoin doesn’t have enough “practical value.” Reportedly, Buffett stated that Bitcoin only derives worth from trading, and is incapable of storing value—making it “no different from a seashell.”
But it wasn’t all bad news. The billionaire tycoon allegedly touted the benefits of blockchain technology, noting that it could become a “disruptive” force within finance.
A smart trader has exploited various protocols in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space to net a whopping $350,000 in profits. As Decrypt reported yesterday, a clever set of instructions—all executed in one big transaction—enabled someone to leverage current weaknesses in the DeFi ecosystem for their own gain. By using several decentralized financial tools, and a small dose of price manipulation, they were able to take home a lot of Ethereum. DeFi protocol bZx says it lost funds via a margin-le...
“Bitcoin cannot capture the value of blockchain. Just because something has value doesn’t make it a good investment,” Buffett purportedly said.
“Mr. Buffett says blockchain has its value. There are a lot of incredible companies in the payment market and it has huge demands. He believes blockchain technology will have a disruptive effect on the future of payment,” the video concludes.
So, Buffett is squarely in the blockchain, not Bitcoin camp. But for how long?

Building on the momentum of anticipated changes to U.S. crypto policy, Binance.US said it aims to restore its USD services in early 2025, according to a statement shared with Decrypt. It marks the exchange's first major operational shift as regulatory pressure forced the exchange to suspend fiat trading last year. The platform has operated under restricted banking access since June 2023, when SEC civil claims triggered a suspension of dollar deposits and withdrawals. "While I can't provide a de...
