The Greatest Misses
They Weren't the Only Ones Wrong

— Jamie Dimon
$4,161
“I just don't believe in this bitcoin thing.”
— Prince Alwaleed
$5,914
“I’d say Bitcoin is doomed in the medium-term future. Farrell is right: it can be a bit of a curiosity, but if it ever enjoys wider success, that very success will kill it.”
— Kevin Drum
$311
“Bitcoin is a detector of imbeciles. But it’s not a currency, not a store of value, and not a medium of exchange.”
— Nassim Nicholas Taleb
$30,838
“Bitcoin isn’t just speculation, it is also a statement of identity.”
— Josh Williams
$35,671
“I don’t know where it will end or how it will end, but it will end. And when it ends, it will be ugly because there will be nothing there.”
— Stephen Isaacs
$55,685

“It's a mirage basically. It's a very effective way of transmitting money and you can do it anonymously and all that. A check is a way of transmitting money too. Are checks worth a whole lot of money just because they can transmit money? I hope bitcoin becomes a better way of doing it but you can replicate it a bunch of different ways. The idea that it has some huge intrinsic value is just a joke in my view.”
— Warren Buffett
$629
“Bitcoin is a bubble. I think a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money.”
— Jim Cramer
$13,227
