What he said.
On 7 April 2022, at a bitcoin conference in Miami, Thiel said Warren Buffett topped an “enemies list” and called him “the sociopathic grandpa from Omaha.” He said JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon reflected “the New York City banker bias” and also criticized BlackRock’s Larry Fink. CNBC noted that Founders Fund had reportedly amassed hundreds of millions of dollars in bitcoin by 2018. [1][2]
