Moving the goal posts.

First you said "Just because Bill Gates is a billionaire, doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about"

Now that you've learned that most likely he DOES know what he's talking about, you changed your argument to "Other people think other things, so it's uninteresting" (What? WE're not talking about random people here.)

Lets just say it: you already arrived at the conclusion you want, now you're grasping for arguments to support it.



I conceded the point that he hasn't looked into it with 'fair enough' lol. Regardless, informed is relative. I don't think Bill Gates knows more on bitcoin than I do. His status as an authority figure is uninteresting, because we can find many authority figures that disagree with him.
