💰 The Dollar Is Dying: Why Warren Buffett HATES Your Favorite Inflation Hedge (Bitcoin)
The Problem Buffett Sees:
Warren Buffett is clear: "The natural course of government is to make the currency worth less over time." Inflation and currency debasement are inevitable consequences of government spending and money creation.
The Crypto Response:
If dollars lose value, you need scarce assets. Bitcoin, with its hard-capped supply, is hailed as the ultimate digital gold—a natural defense against a weakening dollar.
The Buffett Bombshell:
Despite agreeing with the premise that fiat is flawed, Buffett rejects Bitcoin, calling it "rat poison squared."
His Logic: Bitcoin is non-productive. It doesn't create anything of value. It's a speculative asset whose only value is the hope that someone else will pay more for it later.
His True Hedge: The real answer to inflation is owning productive assets—great companies (stocks). They generate cash flow and can adjust their prices, growing their value even as the dollar shrinks.
Summary: Buffett fears the end of the dollar's strength but has a totally different (and highly profitable) solution than the Bitcoin crowd.
Who is right: The Oracle or the HODLers?
