Warren Buffett, Jamie Dimon, and Larry Fink, according to billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel, are part of a “financial gerontocracy” that opposes a “revolutionary young movement” that supports Bitcoin.
A key takeaway from Thiel’s keynote speech at the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami on Thursday was the digital currency’s inability to hit $100,000, a popular benchmark among the asset’s most dedicated believers.
“What will it take for this to happen?” he wondered, before accusing Buffett, 91, as well as JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon, 66, and BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink, 69, of being “sociopathic grandfathers.” All three have expressed skepticism toward Bitcoin and other digital currencies.
As stated by a spokesman for BlackRock, the company declined to comment. However, he mentioned Fink’s recent shareholder letter, where the CEO indicated that a well-designed digital-payment system “may enhance the settlement of international transactions while reducing the possibility of money laundering and corruption.” According to Fink, digital currencies can also lower the cost of international transfers.
Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. did not respond to a request for comment, while JPMorgan declined to comment.
