As excitement starts to once again build in bitcoin<\/a>, it is important to consider why it may underperform as an investment. Warren Buffett, one of the planet\u2019s most influential investors, has an aversion towards both BTC and gold. And, his reasoning may have some merit.<\/p>\n

Warren Buffett\u2019s Thesis on Investing<\/h2>\n

Warren Buffett invests in productive assets, primarily stocks, that grow over time and produce value\u2014independent of the medium of exchange used. Brands like Coca-Cola and Dairy Queen will continue to yield returns regardless of whether the currency is gold or bitcoins.<\/p>\n

This strategy has allowed Buffett\u2019s company, Berkshire Hathaway, to grow into the third largest public company in the world and the tenth largest conglomerate by revenue (and the largest financial services company by revenue in the world).<\/p>\n

Assets like gold and bitcoin, Buffett asserts, fall into a category referred to as \u201cunproductive assets.\u201d The thesis behind these investments are that they only appreciate should someone be willing to pay more for the asset in the future than what was paid today. In the meantime, these assets \u201cdo not produce any value.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fearful Buy Gold, and Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Buffett\u2019s stance on gold is likely similar to that of bitcoin. In his 2012 annual letter to shareholders, he writes that people purchase gold because they \u201cfear\u201d other assets, especially paper money\u2014and rightfully so he acknowledges.\u00a0Buffett\u00a0wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat motivates most gold purchasers is their belief that the ranks of the fearful will grow. During the past decade that belief has proved correct.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Greater Fool Theory<\/h2>\n

For assets like gold (and arguably bitcoin) to prove successful, it requires people to fall prey to the \u2018greater fool\u2019 theory. As prices in these assets increase, people anticipate that an even more enthusiastic investor will purchase the asset, who also anticipates the next person will expect it to appreciate, and so on. As asserted by Buffett in his letter:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rising price has on its own generated additional buying enthusiasm, attracting purchasers who see the rise as validating an investment thesis. As \u2018bandwagon\u2019 investors join any party, they create their own truth\u2014for a while.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Buffett then draws from bubbles over the last 20 years, including the Dot-com bubble of 1994-2000 and the Subprime mortgage crisis of 2008.\u00a0Buffett stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these bubbles, an army of originally skeptical investors succumbed to the \u2018proof\u2019 delivered by the market, and the pool of buyers\u2014for a time\u2014expanded sufficiently to keep the bandwagon rolling. But bubbles blown large enough inevitably pop. And then the old proverb is confirmed once again: \u2018What the wise man does in the beginning, the fool does in the end.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are those who purchase bitcoin falling prey to a similar phenomenon?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth questioning whether the success of bitcoin hinges on doom-and-gloom<\/a> predictions of the future, or whether like gold-enthusiasts, those shilling bitcoin require more investors to jump on the bandwagon to profit.<\/p>\n

Increasing Supply for Deflationary Assets<\/h2>\n

Another potentially appropriate analogy, and concerning feature, among both gold and bitcoin are the finite but growing supplies. As Buffett points out:<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond the staggering valuation given the existing stock of gold, current prices make today\u2019s annual production of gold command about $160 billion. Buyers\u2014whether jewelry and industrial users, frightened individuals, or speculators\u2014must continually absorb this additional supply to merely maintain an equilibrium at present prices.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Crypto<\/a>

Like gold ore in the ground, there is a finite amount of bitcoin that can be mined\u201421 million coins. Each month until May 2020<\/a>, there are 54,000 BTC introduced into circulation each month\u2014valued at $270 million at $5,000 per coin. Market demand must grow to absorb this number of coins just to maintain price equilibrium.<\/p>\n

Although mining will continually yield less and less bitcoin as the block reward is halved, this supply still needs to be accounted for. Should demand remain stagnant then supply-side pressure could push down the price of bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Candy and Coca-Cola<\/h2>\n

Ultimately, to Warren Buffett, it doesn\u2019t matter what is used as the medium of exchange. In a scenario where bitcoin becomes the predominant world currency, people will still exchange it for cola and candy. However, should bitcoin fail to gain traction, then investment into these value-producing companies will still yield exemplary returns. As put by Buffett:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether the currency a century from now is based on gold, seashells, shark teeth, or a piece of paper (as today), people will be willing to exchange a couple of minutes of their daily labor for a Coca-Cola or some See\u2019s peanut brittle. In the future the US population will move more goods, consume more food, and require more living space than it does now. People will forever exchange what they produce for what others produce.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Buffett has a predisposition for investing in (\u2018undervalued\u2019) blue-chip stocks and American companies that, time and time again, provide goods and services that are unlikely to go out of fashion.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, cryptos like bitcoin are, in Buffett\u2019s words during his 2018 shareholder address<\/a>, \u201cprobably rat poison squared.\u201d Meanwhile, in a conversation<\/a> with CNBC, he says:<\/p>\n

“[Crypto] is a mirage basically. The idea it has some huge intrinsic value is a joke in my view.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s worth considering that he could be right. Stocks are generally a safer and more consistent investment than bitcoin. However, should Bitcoin achieve its moonshot and become a global medium-of-exchange or store-of-value, then the returns would be astronomical for investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
