Can't take these guys too seriously. They're old AF. I talk to old people every day and most just rant about stuff from 3-4 decades ago.

People are asking them about it for the headlines.
Ask your great grandparents about Bitcoin and see how they fare lol.

My grandparents are several decades younger and can barley turn in a computer. Don't take Munger too serious!

it is entertaining to listen just as a continued check to make sure there isn't a valid argument against bitcoin that has not been voiced
this i believe is the first time he or anyone of his stature has admitted that it does indeed make the Federal reserve not necessary

LOL the sugar pimps have been funding crack pipe companies for years, it's no suprise that they're not keen on something that upsets their cosy place between everyone else and their spot close to the money printer
