He said this in reply to Buffet’s earlier comments that “Bitcoin has no unique value at all,” and that the digital asset is “a delusion” that “attracts charlatans”. Buffet said he pity those who invest in Bitcoin thinking it could change their lives.
Buffet said: “If you do something phony by going out and selling yo-yos or something, there’s no money in it — but when you get into Wall Street, there’s huge money.”
Unlike in the crypto space, Buffet’s Wells Fargo had being caught committing different offences ranging from opening fake accounts to forging clients signatures.
According to reports many a number of Wells Fargo’s employees have opened 3.5 million unnecessary accounts within 15 years.
Also, Anthony Pompliano who added his comment on the statement of Barry Silbert, said, “For those keeping track at home, that means Wells Fargo has paid more than 20% of Bitcoin’s market cap in fines in the last 19 years for their fraudulent activity.”

Another Bitcoin investor, CZ Binance, said, everybody does not need to use Bitcoin before for the digital asset to have value.
“Not everyone uses USD, yet it has value. We don’t need everyone to use bitcoin for it to have value.”
