The top right-hand man of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway company, Charlie Munger, recently dropped a provocative bombshell on the crypto world, after likening the frenzy around bitcoin and altcoins adoptions to \u201cvenereal disease\u201d. A disgusted Charlie, during a Q&A session at the LA-based Daily Journal Corp, openly blurted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI’m proud of the fact that I avoided it. It’s like some venereal disease. I just regard it as beneath contempt. Some people think it\u2019s modernity, and they welcome a currency that\u2019s so useful n extortions and kidnappings [and] tax evasion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Charlie, a 98-year-old billionaire who has remained an unflinching critic of the developments around cryptocurrencies, spared no horses in expressing, once again, his disgust for the hype and growth around cryptocurrencies. In the footsteps of his boss, Warren Buffett, who once referred to cryptos as rat poison, Charlie once again riled up the crypto Twitter community, provoking an avalanche of reactions that relegate his opinions on crypto to the realm of obsolescence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of all comments posted, Elon musk’s was widely received as the Tesla techno King walked Charlie Munger down memory lane to a one-on-one conversation in 2009, on how his verbal pessimism over the concept of Tesla almost drained Elon of the enthusiasm needed to kick-start Tesla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
