巴菲特与杰米·戴蒙谈论比特币:得当心
伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司(Berkshire Hathaway)CEO沃伦·巴菲特与摩根大通(J.P. Morgan)CEO杰米·戴蒙,在一道参加消费者新闻与商业频道(CNBC)的《财经论谈》(Squawk Box)节目时,谈到了对比特币的担忧。 节目中两位被问到:“你们谁更讨厌比特币?” 巴菲特一直对数字加密货币持批评态度。他说:“我设的标准很高,我不知道杰米会不会超过我的标准。” 戴蒙回应道:“我可不想做比特币的代言人,对比特币得当心。” 巴菲特对比特币的挑剔由来已久,2014年他称比特币是“海市蜃楼”,今年5月在召开伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司年度股东会议前,他又指称这些广为流行却不可靠的数字加密货币是“加强版的老鼠药”。 戴蒙也批评过数字加密货币。去年秋天他称比特币是“一个骗局”。今年1月,他的口风有所改变,在一次福克斯财经网(Fox Business)的访谈中,他认为“区块链是真实的”,意指区块链所蕴含的去中心化记账技术,这一技术被广泛认为比一般的会计软件更加安全可靠。(财富中文网) 译者:宣峰 |
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett and J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon voiced apprehension about Bitcoin during a joint interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box. During the interview, which aired on Thursday, the two were asked “which one of you hates Bitcoin more?” “I set a high standard,” Buffett, who has been critical of the cryptocurrency, replied. “I don’t know whether Jamie can top me or not.” “I don’t want to be a Bitcoin spokesman,” Dimon responded. “Just beware.” Buffett has long been critical of Bitcoin, calling it a “mirage” in 2014. In May, prior to the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting, Buffett said the popular (yet volatile) cryptocurrency was “probably rat poison squared.” Dimon has also critiqued the cryptocurrency. Last fall he called Bitcoin a “fraud.” In January, he walked back those comments, saying in an interview on Fox Business, that “the blockchain is real,” a reference to Bitcoin’s underlying open accounting technology that is seen by many as a more reliable and secure alternative to standard accounting software. |
