For many years, the business tycoon Warren Buffet has condemned bitcoin as an investment telling people that the crypto asset is nothing but gambling. Two years ago, just before a Berkshire Hathaway 2018 annual shareholder meeting, Buffet said bitcoin is \u201cprobably rat poison squared.\u201d Despite the investor\u2019s criticism, the crypto asset\u2019s market capitalization has surpassed Buffet\u2019s multinational conglomerate holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, in net value.<\/strong><\/p>\n Bitcoin has a lot of haters, including people like Jamie Dimon<\/a>, Peter Schiff<\/a>, and Nouriel Roubini<\/a>. In addition to these pundits, the American investor and chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffet,<\/a> doesn\u2019t like bitcoin either. For many years now, the executive who developed an interest in business and investing in his youth has disliked bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) with a fervent passion. Two years ago, Buffet explained that purchasing the crypto asset is not an investment.<\/p>\n \u201cYou aren\u2019t investing when you do that,\u201d Buffett stressed<\/a> in 2018 during an interview in reference to buying bitcoin. \u201cYou\u2019re speculating. There\u2019s nothing wrong with it. If you wanna gamble somebody else will come along and pay more money tomorrow, that\u2019s one kind of game. That is not investing.\u201d<\/p>\n Then during a discussion with CNBC\u2019s Becky Quick, Buffet further explained<\/a> that bitcoin is \u201cprobably rat poison squared.\u201d Moreover, on Valentine\u2019s Day 2018, Buffet\u2019s partner and Berkshire Hathaway\u2019s vice chairman, Charlie Munger, said he detested bitcoin. During the company\u2019s annual shareholder meeting Munger said<\/a> the crypto asset was \u201cnoxious poison\u201d and \u201cdisgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI never considered for one second, having anything to do with [bitcoin],\u201d Munger insisted. \u201cI detested it the minute it had been raised. The more popular it got, the more I hated it. It\u2019s just disgusting that people have been taken in by this.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the bigwigs at Berkshire Hathaway hating on the crypto asset bitcoin (BTC<\/a>), the digital currency has surpassed the multinational holding company\u2019s net value according to statistics<\/a>. Bitcoin\u2019s value anywhere above the $29,300 per unit range gives BTC<\/a>\u2019s market valuation a whopping $544 billion, which is $1 billion above Berkshire Hathaway\u2019s capitalization.<\/p>\n The next major company BTC<\/a> needs to pass is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world. Bitcoin has already surpassed the valuation of the major payments network Visa<\/a>, which is valued at roughly $482 billion.<\/p>\n The conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway is basically a lot of companies as well, as the holdings firm wholly owns well known businesses like Dairy Queen, GEICO, Duracell, Pampered Chef, Fruit of the Loom, and more. Berkshire Hathaway also has significant minority holdings in Coca-Cola, Bank of America, Apple, and American Express.<\/p>\n <\/ins> <\/ins> <\/p>\n Since Bitcoin\u2019s launch on January 3, 2009, 12 years ago, the currency has grown immensely in value and traditional investment tycoons have had a difficult time processing why it has grown so valuable. Still to this day, people like Peter Schiff and Warren Buffet believe that bitcoin is nothing but a pyramid scheme.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you buy something like a farm, an apartment house, or an interest in a business,\u201d Buffet once said<\/a>. \u201cYou can do that on a private basis. And it\u2019s a perfectly satisfactory investment. You look at the investment itself to deliver the return to you. Now, if you buy something like bitcoin or some cryptocurrency, you don\u2019t really have anything that has produced anything. You\u2019re just hoping the next guy pays more.\u201d<\/p>\n What do you think about bitcoin surpassing the value of Berkshire Hathaway\u2019s market capitalization?
