Bill gates is more experienced man so if he said it may be true . First do some research before blame him. Don't oppose him blindly...

I'm not opposing him blindly. I didn't say he was wrong and left it at that. I pointed out that his logic may be flawed by giving an example. I'm not blaming him either. I also said that he only really rehashed (very strongly) a known fact.

As for my basis in saying that he doesn't know much about crypto, he also had this to say:

Quote

He said: The main feature of cryptocurrencies is their anonymity.

Just because crypto comes from cryptography doesn't mean the main feature for them is anonymity. Bitcoin itself is only pseudonymous, and to my knowledge, no effort has been done to improve that.

I love Bill Gates and his efforts to make the world a better place, but it's very likely he doesn't know too much about crypto; he doesn't need to either.
