Had to look up FOMO:

Buffett is having none of it. "You can't value bitcoin, because it's not a value-producing asset," he said recently. Earlier, in 2014, when bitcoin was worth much, much less, Buffett said, "Stay away from it. It's a mirage, basically,” adding, “The idea that it has some huge intrinsic value is just a joke, in my view."

So what drives the value of an essentially value-free asset? FOMO — fear of missing out.

Bitcoin is a Fiat money stimulus. Last article that I saw said that Bitcoin miners added 5 percent to Nvidia's bottom line. Hmmm... Could be a shorting opportunity, but you know the saying...

Lol, good point. Silver also produces nothing on its own.

It makes sense that Warren would not be a fan, because the dollar has done just fine for him, and because he's all about calculating return based on fundamentals, like p/e. What is the p/e of bitcoin?

Siver has lots of industrial uses. Therefore it has intrinsic value.
Bitcoin has zero intrinsic value. Therefore it's a speculative tool and nothing else.
The dollar is backed by the production capacity of the United States of America, the largest economy ever. Therefore it has tremendous value.

Not sure that's true. Silver has value as a commodity. Electronics rely on silver.

This is a Ponzi scheme where early adopters get rich. Satoshi himself mined millions of coins for before everyone else even had the chance. So he’s a multi billionaire now hiding in a private island somewhere slowing cashing out.
