猛烈抨擊加密貨幣的聲音又起。
伯克希爾-哈撒韋公司(Berkshire Hathaway)的副董事長(zhǎng)、沃倫·巴菲特的商業(yè)合作伙伴查理·芒格早在本輪加密貨幣寒冬之前就已經(jīng)公開(kāi)表達(dá)了他對(duì)數(shù)字貨幣的厭惡,在《澳大利亞金融評(píng)論報(bào)》(Australian Financial Review)于7月12日發(fā)表的對(duì)芒格的采訪稿中,他再次抨擊加密貨幣。
芒格告訴這家媒體:“加密貨幣投資毫無(wú)價(jià)值。我認(rèn)為購(gòu)買(mǎi)或交易加密貨幣的幾乎都是瘋子?!?/p>
芒格在最近開(kāi)始的“加密貨幣寒冬”之后發(fā)表了這番言論。在這輪加密貨幣行情中,加密貨幣的市值縮水了三分之二,這讓人不由回想起2018年發(fā)生的上一次崩潰,當(dāng)時(shí)比特幣(Bitcoin)的價(jià)格暴跌約80%。
但即便是在行情較好的時(shí)候,芒格也沒(méi)有口下留情。他在今年3月將加密貨幣比作一種性病,稱(chēng)很自豪自己避開(kāi)了加密貨幣,并表示對(duì)加密貨幣不屑一顧。
在4月召開(kāi)的伯克希爾-哈撒韋年度股東大會(huì)上,芒格稱(chēng)加密貨幣“愚蠢又邪惡”,巴菲特則表示“加密貨幣不產(chǎn)生任何價(jià)值”。
巴菲特和芒格這一對(duì)九十多歲的商業(yè)合作伙伴兼老友,將伯克希爾-哈撒韋打造成為一家投資業(yè)巨頭,去年的凈收入高達(dá)900億美元。
“妄想或者邪惡”
98歲的億萬(wàn)富翁芒格在接受《澳大利亞金融評(píng)論報(bào)》采訪時(shí)表示,加密貨幣行業(yè)充斥著兜售毫無(wú)價(jià)值的數(shù)字貨幣的邪惡角色。與此同時(shí),華爾街預(yù)計(jì)加密貨幣市場(chǎng)的崩盤(pán)可能更加嚴(yán)重。

One of crypto’s fiercest critics is roaring again.
Charlie Munger, vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett’s business partner, has voiced his dislike for digital currencies since long before the current crypto winter, and was at it again in an interview with the Australian Financial Review, published on July 12.
“Crypto is an investment in nothing,” Munger told the AFR. “I regard it as almost insane to buy this stuff or to trade in it.”
Munger’s recent remarks came after the onset of the most recent “crypto winter,” an unraveling that has seen crypto’s market cap lose two-thirds of its value, recalling the last crash in the space that occurred in 2018, when Bitcoin’s price dropped by some 80%.
But even in less wintery times, Munger was scathing. He likened crypto to a venereal disease in March, adding that he was proud that he’d avoided it and saying he regards it as beneath his contempt.
The next month, at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting, Munger called crypto “stupid and evil,” while Buffett said that “it doesn’t produce anything.”
Business partners and friends, the nonagenarians Buffett and Munger have built Berkshire Hathaway into an investment giant that recorded $90 billion in net income last year.
“Either delusional or evil”
In Munger’s interview with AFR, the 98-year-old billionaire said the industry was full of bad actors selling worthless digital coins. His remarks come as Wall Street expects the crypto crash to get a lot worse.
There remains a question of when or if Washington will call for regulatory action against the crypto industry. California Governor Gavin Newsom has already made a move to craft regulations for digital currencies, following closely in President Biden’s footsteps with the issue.
Munger, of course, has already weighed in on crypto regulation, saying last December that China made the right call by banning it.
Munger told the AFR that he stresses investments in stocks, saying they are a superior investment, as they are pieces of real businesses.
Anyone who buys or sells crypto, on the other hand, is undermining the existing monetary system in his view.
“I think anybody that sells this stuff is either delusional or evil,” he told the AFR. “I'm not interested in undermining the national currencies of the world.”
