True.



Hmm, I don't fully agree.

The fact that he's white is irrelevant. Apparently, that's just become the "cool" way to slam overly-conservative mindsets. Slam them as "white." The hypocrisy in casually tossing around the remark should be obvious.

But unfortunately, his age is relevant. Of course not all old people hate, or don't know enough about bitcoin, or other modern technology. But it's pretty well established for most people that older folks, in general, don't understand technology, and tend to disparage it accordingly.

I tend to believe that older people could learn technology just as well as younger people, but rather that most choose not to consider it important or to spend time familiarizing themselves with it. The *why* isn't that important; if it's true that that's the tendency of older generations, then it makes sense to suspect and scrutinize (not outright dismiss) their opinions when they disparage new tech. Probably not the best way for Marc to have made his point, but I do feel Buffett's age is relevant in this particular case.
