I’d like to know what he thinks of gold then and if that differs from his opinion over Bitcoin, why that is.

In his latest visit to his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, where he hosts a casual event for business students, one of the attendees asked Warren Buffett a question about Bitcoin. As a clarification, Buffett went on to say that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are “a very effective way of transmitting money, and you can do it anonymously and all that”, but it doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things: “A check is a way of transmitting money, too.

Are checks worth a whole lot of money just because they can transmit money?”. He finished his statement with a harsher criticism of Bitcoin, saying that the “idea that [it] has some huge intrinsic value is just a joke, in my view”.

Buffett tends to lean towards investing in things that have a sustainable inherent value. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is surging past the $8,000 mark even after the SegWit2x drama left its future uncertain.

Although there’s no denying that it’s subject to more volatility than most fiat currencies, there’s a lot to be said about its utility in the market as more stores begin to accept payments in the cryptocurrency. Warren Buffett might not be keen on the idea of pumping capital in Bitcoin’s direction, but other players want a piece of the pie, each for their own reasons.

I am buying a NAS array in my home (solar-powered) that I'll be leasing out more than Sia... lets see how much cash I can make from it this year.  Perhaps I will expand up to my own small information middle as part of Sia cloud storage system.

Why do people keep coming into this thread with FUD, without doing any research? Sia can definitely grow in the future.

Well put, and while I said that there may be cause for concern if the price plummets in December, it's on the understanding that Bitcoin's value tanks after the Segwti2x drama plays out, and people reinvest in alts. I'm invested in Sia - otherwise I wouldn't have ordered an Obelisk 

What happened with this coin?

It used to be popular, and now it keeps crashing  

In terms of vs btc the value is going down yes, but in terms of usd it's more or less the same. After bitcoin is done with all this hardforking I think the altcoin market will pick up again.

We have a RETARD who has permanent 50k nav buy and sells scaring people away. If you take away his orders there are only like 10 BTC buy orders. He seems to think that 50k (which is more than most people own) is a sensible amount to put as a buy and sell order. Newcomers see those orders and think "I have to compete with someone who is trying to buy 50k nav" so they either walk away or can see what he is trying to do a mile off and look for another coin. Its there in black an white. The bots are doing the small trades (kind of normal) but have a look at the buy orders it goes form less than 1 BTC and then jumps up 8 BTC because of our resident RETARD. then further down the list he has more 8 BTC buys.

The difference in his buy and sells is not massive, so he isn't making that much money - If he let the market do its own thing, more people would come on board and he would make more money as real demand will push the price up. But yes all other ALTS are going up and down with BTC fluctuation but we are just stuck with RETARD boy.

As Elon Musk says - demand is more beneficial than price as more demand pushes up prices.

Yeah he can do what he wants with his money, but I don't think he has got the idea of how simple economics works or how easy people see what he is doing.

As far as I know all the development has been founded by Craigs personal funds.

And whatever Dev team used to have has been spent last year keeping the project afloat. Bear in mind that before this year the value of NAV was trading below 3k sats and BTC's value was below 1000 usd.
