Why Warren Buffett’s Bitcoin Blunder Is Mel Brooks-Level Hilarious!

by

Picture this: Michael Saylor, the Strategy co-founder and Bitcoin fanboy, chatting with Ryan Rasmussen, the big brain over at Bitwise Invest. Saylor drops the bomb that Bitcoin isn’t just some digital doodad—it’s a paradigm shift. Yeah, that fancy phrase that sounds like a plot twist in a bad sci-fi flick. 🤯

Now, Saylor gets all philosophical, saying people back in the day couldn’t see the genius of things like electricity, radio waves, or radioactivity—basically the stuff that lights up your house and fries your toast. So, naturally, he thinks Bitcoin could be just as earth-shattering… or at least wallet-shattering. 💥

“If you never saw a light bulb in 1890, can you really blame them for not thinking it would change the world?” Saylor asks. Probably not, but they still got shocked—literally and figuratively. ⚡️

He goes on: Regular folks don’t want to get “shocked” or “burned.” That’s like not wanting to touch a hot stove—smart move unless you’re a masochist or an investor with zero chill. 🔥

“Think about it! New York City runs on electricity, and your planes, trains, and automobiles? Fire, baby!🔥 An engineer’s job is to harness that energy, but most people? They’re more scared of fire than a cat is of a cucumber.”

Here’s the kicker: Bitcoin packs TEN times more “energy content” than your run-of-the-mill capital asset. So, if you’re clever enough to harness that power, you might just turn this digital firecracker into a growth engine for your company—assuming your company isn’t called ‘Burnout Inc.’ 🚀

Meanwhile, Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha and original party pooper, famously called Bitcoin “rat poison squared” back in 2018. A charming way to say “not my cup of digital tea.” 🍵🐀

And get this: the guy has $166 billion but still wouldn’t take all the Bitcoins in the world for a measly dollar. Imagine having that much cash and still being the ultimate Scrooge about crypto. Talk about missing the punchline!
