巴菲特與杰米·戴蒙談論比特幣：得當心

伯克希爾-哈撒韋公司（Berkshire Hathaway）CEO沃倫·巴菲特與摩根大通（J.P. Morgan）CEO杰米·戴蒙，在一道參加消費者新聞與商業頻道（CNBC）的《財經論談》（Squawk Box）節目時，談到了對比特幣的擔憂。

節目中兩位被問到：“你們誰更討厭比特幣？”

巴菲特一直對數字加密貨幣持批評態度。他說：“我設的標準很高，我不知道杰米會不會超過我的標準。”

戴蒙回應道：“我可不想做比特幣的代言人，對比特幣得當心。”

巴菲特對比特幣的挑剔由來已久，2014年他稱比特幣是“海市蜃樓”，今年5月在召開伯克希爾-哈撒韋公司年度股東會議前，他又指稱這些廣為流行卻不可靠的數字加密貨幣是“加強版的老鼠藥”。

戴蒙也批評過數字加密貨幣。去年秋天他稱比特幣是“一個騙局”。今年1月，他的口風有所改變，在一次福克斯財經網（Fox Business）的訪談中，他認為“區塊鏈是真實的”，意指區塊鏈所蘊含的去中心化記賬技術，這一技術被廣泛認為比一般的會計軟件更加安全可靠。（財富中文網）

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.
