Warren Buffet chose to evade the question , saying that his opinion would make a lot more people angry than it would make them happy. Munger took another path and was brutally honest about his feelings regarding bitcoin.
“Of course I hate the success of Bitcoin.”, Said the president of the society, “I do not welcome a currency that is so useful for kidnappers and extortionists and so on, nor do I like to simply spend my extra billions of dollars on someone who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. “

“I think I should modestly say that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interests of civilization,” he said.
