“Some people think, that they should participate in every hot transaction. They don't care, what is this: Children's prostitution or bitcoin. And it oppresses. Reputation is extremely important in the financial sector, Therefore, destroy it, contacting the scum and advertising their products - a huge mistake. I hate those, who promotes bitcoin ", - said Manger.
He also noted, that the US Federal Reserve (FRS) - an integral element of the financial sector. Therefore, in the world of fiat currencies, wise regulators must be present, such as central banks. Manger shared his opinion on Tesla Director General Ilona Mask (Elon Musk):

Elon Musk has achieved that, What other people could not do. But I do not identify Tesla with bitcoin ", -commented on the vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway.
Manger was never a fan of Bitcoin and always urged people to stay away from investment in cryptocurrencies. He previously compared bitcoin with a sexually transmitted disease and demanded, so that the US authorities ban investments in crypto assets.
