When Bill Gates speaks, many people listen.

And for good reason. He’s the co-founder and former CEO of Microsoft — the company that revolutionized personal computing in the 1980s and 1990s.

After Bill Gates’ tenure at Microsoft, when he formally retired from the software industry, he went on to pursue other passions. He started the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with his long-time wife, which is now one of the world’s largest philanthropic organizations. And he’s also become a vocal advocate for vaccines, population control, and other global health initiatives.

So, when Gates recently spoke out against Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), of course, it made headlines.

In a recent panel discussion at the 58th annual Munich Security Conference, Bill Gates said…

“You have an asset class that’s 100% based on some sort of greater fool theory that somebody’s going to pay more for it than I do.”
