The article has a one sentence quote from Gates in it, in which he shows a level of expertise anyone could reach from reading one of the hundreds of recent articles about bitcoin.
Why is this noteworthy? I don't really disagree with his assessment, but his words are being given undue importance here.
- rektide 6y agoYes. I'm so sick of Gates being the feature of endless articles. What an incredible sign that we lack respected, informed figures in this world, that we keep having to go to Mr Gates to get an opinion worth putting in print. I'm not sure whether to think it's just lack of options, or whether this a programme by the rich to build & establish one of their own as someone to listen to. Nicely in the category of "owns a world-spanning super-empire" but generally pretty benign & non-aggressive for over a decade. Has taken some licks & no longer feels like a juggernaut.
