Bitcoin’s Greatest Trick? Making the World’s Experts Look Foolish

#Bitcoin #Future

Bitcoin has made fools out of the world's most famous experts.

🪙 Since Warren Buffett called Bitcoin “rat poison squared,” it’s up 1,000%.
🪙 Since the ECB declared Bitcoin’s “last stand” in Nov 2022, it’s up nearly 600%.

How did so many “brilliant” minds miss the greatest financial revolution of our time? Let’s unpack. 🧵👇

First up: Warren Buffett.

The Oracle of Omaha dismissed Bitcoin in 2018, saying, “It attracts charlatans... rat poison squared.”

At the time, Bitcoin traded around $8,000.

Today? ~$40,000. That’s a 1,000% gain.

And yet, Buffett’s portfolio is deeply tied to fiat, which Bitcoin disrupts. Coincidence?

Next: The European Central Bank (ECB).

In November 2022, the ECB released a blog titled "Bitcoin’s Last Stand," declaring it irrelevant and on the verge of collapse.

Bitcoin’s price then? ~$16,000.

Today? ~$40,000. 600% growth.

Turns out, Bitcoin doesn’t care about bureaucratic opinions.

Peter Zeihan—bestselling author and geopolitical “expert.”

In December 2022, Zeihan boldly predicted Bitcoin’s price would fall to negative $1,000.

Yes, NEGATIVE. 🤦‍♂️

Instead? Bitcoin has rallied nearly 600% since then.

Being loud doesn’t make you right.

And Bill Gates.

The Microsoft co-founder said he’d short Bitcoin if he could, labeling it a “foolish” investment.

Since his remarks, Bitcoin is up 1,000%.

Perhaps Gates should’ve focused on Bitcoin’s decentralized innovation instead of dismissing it outright.

Finally, the king of bad Bitcoin takes: Peter Schiff.

In 2011, Schiff declared Bitcoin was going to zero.

Back then, Bitcoin was just $1.
Today, it’s up 9,800,000%.

Let that sink in. Nearly 10 million percent. Schiff’s gold? Up a mere 27% in the same period.

These aren’t random people—they’re some of the most respected voices in finance and economics.

So why did they get it so incredibly wrong?

The answer is simple: They didn’t do the work. They didn’t study the technology. They dismissed the paradigm shift before understanding it.

Bitcoin isn’t just “another investment.”

It’s a revolution in:
🔑 Decentralized money
⚡ Financial sovereignty
🌍 A hedge against fiat debasement

Those stuck in the old system failed to see this new system emerge.

And it’s costing them credibility.

The lesson?

Trust the technology, not the pundits.

Bitcoin operates on proof of work.
It doesn’t need permission from billionaires, banks, or bureaucrats.

While the critics sneered, Bitcoin kept building—secure, decentralized, and unstoppable.

Don’t let the “experts” blind you to innovation.

The same thing happened with the internet.

In 1995, Newsweek published an article calling the internet a “fad.”
Today, it powers everything.

Bitcoin is following the same path. 🚀
