Carl Icahn:
“I don’t understand it… If you read history books about all of these bubbles…this is what this is.”
Warren Buffett:
"Stay away from it. It's a mirage... the idea that it has some huge intrinsic value is a joke. It's a way of transmitting money."
Jamie Dimon:
“It’s not a real thing. It’s a fraud.”
Ray Dalio:
“Bitcoin is a bubble… It’s speculative people, thinking they can sell it at a higher price…and so, it’s a bubble.”
Leon Cooperman:
"I have no money in bitcoin. There's euphoria in bitcoin."
Marc Lasry:
"I should have bought bitcoin when it was $300. I don’t understand it. It might make sense to try to participate in it, but I can’t give you any analysis as to why it makes sense or not. I think it’s real, as it coming into the mainstream."
Ken Griffin:
"It’s not the future of currency. I wouldn’t call it a fraud either. Bitcoin has many of the elements of the Tulip bulb mania.”
Jerry Yang (founder of Yahoo):
"Bitcoin as a digital currency is not quite there yet. I personally am a believer that digital currency can play a role in our society, but for now it seems to be driven by the hype of investing and getting a return, as opposed to transactions.”
Michael Novagratz:
"The whole market cap of all of the cryptocurrencies is $300 billion. That’s nothing. This is global. I have a sense this can go a lot further.”
