Bill Gates says he would short Bitcoin as Warren Buffet calls the cyrptocurrency ‘rat poison’

Bitcoin Bill Gates

Though Bitcoin has been around for nearly a decade, the cryptocurrency didn't really become a true mainstream phenomenon until late 2017 when the price of Bitcoin shot up from about $5,800 to nearly $20,000 in the span of just four weeks. And though the price of Bitcoin has gone down considerably since then, many people are still of the mind that cryptocurrency represents the wave of the future.

Of course, not everyone shares this viewpoint. Interestingly enough, some of the more vocal detractors of Bitcoin include some of the richest men in the world. Case in point: Warren Buffet and Bill Gates earlier today both lambasted Bitcoin during an interview with CNBC, with Buffett going so far as to call it "rat poison squared."

I used Amazon's free 2-hour delivery service while ill — and it's clear why it's becoming the brand's secret weapon in the war for grocery domination (AMZN)

Amazon Prime Now is Amazon's free two-hour delivery service available in 50 cities around the world. It offers staples, groceries, and seasonal merchandise delivered from hubs near in the centers of major metropolises. I tested it earlier this year and found it was a bit more expensive than I expected and not as quick as I had hoped. However, I used the service again recently while sick, and I now understand the value of the service when homebound or just too busy to go shopping. Amazon Prime Now is a service that promises a lot. Free delivery in two hours for a wide variety of seasonal goods, food staples, and every-day items sounds too good to be true. And when I tried it earlier this year, I wasn't completely sold on it.

But then I decided to give Prime Now another shot — and now I see what the big deal is. While sick with a cold and stuck at home...
