In the corporate news, Microsoft’s billionaire co-founder Bill Gates has expressed doubts about cryptocurrencies on several occasions. During an “ask me anything” session on Reddit earlier this week, he explained why he did not buy them.
The billionaire philanthropist said he preferred investing in “things that have valuable output”, adding: “The value of companies is based on how they make great products. The value of crypto is just what some other person decides someone else will pay for it so not adding to society like other investments.”
Bill Gates had denounced cryptocurrencies in an interview to the Wall Street Journal in February.
