So basically this is fake news. No hearing today. Just someone driving some FUD so they can pick up some at a lower price.

Dude is 87 years old. He probably shouldn't be talking about things he doesn't understand. And don't give me the he's worth X billions of dollars.
That's cool but it doesn't mean he's right all of the time. It took him years before he admitted Amazon and google brought value to the table.

Correct, he doesn’t see any VALUE in bitcoin. He probably sees it as just a trading vehicle.
Microsoft Co-founder Bill Gates told CNBC in the same interview Monday that he would bet against bitcoin if he could.
"As an asset class, you're not producing anything and so you shouldn't expect it to go up. It's kind of a pure 'greater fool theory' type of investment," Gates said. "I would short it if there was an easy way to do it."

Gates sells products. His business has sales, equipment, real estate.
What do you get when you buy 1 bitcoin? Code? Or do you get something you can sell on a separate platform? It seems to look similar to an Enron trading desk.

Following what your saying about bitcoin.... the same can be said for a debt card. It can only he spent on 1 platform ie something connected via a network to a system/platform.

You get a block of the ledger.
To do business on the ledger you have to own part of it. You can't run Microsoft if you don't buy the software. Same thing.

A few coins have already acomplished atomic swaps
Also, a coin like request network also has an interesting take on the future of this type of stuff.

Mastercard Wins Patent for Speeding Up Crypto Payments - CoinDesk
I've thought for awhile crypto could be a way for MasterCard to gain some market share. Visa seems to be against it big time right now. So if you're MasterCard why not step in and offer a solution?
