That is, I am a huge believer in digital currency. In fact, the Gate Foundation is very involved in trying to get that going in poor countries so we can have cheap financial services even for people without much money. But doing it on an anonymous basis I think that leads to some abuses. So I am not involved in Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ref: http:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/2014\/05\/warren-buffett-tells-fbn-cant-recall-bought-ipo\/<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/charliemungersays\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/charliemungersays\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excellent Book: Charlie Munger For All Seasons Munger on whether he still feels Bitcoin is rat poison: \u201cIt is.
