Make up your mind Bill.
Why is Microsoft still accepting payment in bitcoins if Bill thinks they "caused deaths in a fairly direct way"?
Bill Gates retired from Microsoft 10 years ago. He owns maybe ~1% of MSFT stock.
Oh I thought he still had some control over Microsoft even though he's retired. So Microsoft doesn't give a shit if Bill thinks bitcoin's shit?
I'd say so.
Besides Bill was never much of a visionary anyway. He lucked into Windows monopoly but other than that... good for Microsoft to not pay attention to what he thinks.
