This post in reddit is very controversial as different groups are arguing as to who is the person responsible for calling bitcoin as a rat poison. The debate is still going on as one side says that  Charlie Munger and the other parties said that it was Warren Buffet. I dont know what or whom to believe. So anyone among you who knows the real story and is willing to share who is the real culprit.

As Paracelsus stated: "All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy."
The same also applies to financial instruments and policies. Quantitative easing by the Fed done in the right dose is a remedy, done too much it is a dangerous poison.

Thinking that Crypto is the answer to all challenges is poison. Using Crypto to give the rest of the global population access to finances because they cannot have a bank account or no banks are operating is a remedy.

Bitcoin is not the answer to everything.
