I am pretty sure Buffet gives exactly zero fucks about “missing” crypto. Whenever I go to the store, I have never bought Bitcoin. But I have bought a Coca Cola. When I drive a car, I have never needed Bitcoin, but I have needed car insurance. Pretty sure that Berkshire has some idea about what they’re doing.

Crypto currencies might have some uses, but it’s pretty much a fad. Blockchain is interesting, but Bitcoin is pretty useless. I have yet to see a single thing that BTC does that I can’t do with actual money. And ICOs? Just ridiculous. Solutions in search of a problem.

They're the solution to the problem of "How do I redirect millions or billions of dollars of other peoples' money into my bank account while doing very little actual work?".


Since we've warned you repeatedly about breaking the HN guidelines and you've continued to post snarky, unsubstantive comments, we've banned this account.


Out of curiosity, who did I personally insult this time?

Or was I banned because I insulted a "business" model that ycombinator is watering at the mouth to cash in on?

..or is it because I said truthful/unflattering things about Coinbase?


The comment you're replying to told you why you're banned.

I didn't notice that you said anything about Coinbase, nor would that make a difference.
