Bright Enabulele disagrees with Buffet

However, Enabulele, who created Oduwacoin as a means of empowering the African continent through blockchain technology, has a different perspective.

Enabulele took to Twitter to express his disagreement with Buffet's views, stating that cryptocurrencies, including his own Oduwacoin, have real-world use cases and are not merely speculative assets.

He tweeted:

"Crypto is not betting. It is a legitimate tool for financial empowerment.
"I am not so surprised that Warren Buffet openly criticized the future, of finance again because investors like him don’t like what they can’t control, and that’s the beauty of crypto.
"Crypto is decentralized, and he’s scared of it because he can’t manipulate, or control it.
"The likes of him has most of their investments in centralised systems, and crypto is the kind of money that cannot be manipulated. That’s why we call it the ‘God money’.
