Bill Gates has joined voices against virtual coins, even Microsoft founder goes further when he says these coins, like Bitcoin, are indirectly killing people.
Gates expressed this opinion through the Reddit network.
"For the time being, so-called cryptomoney is being used massively to buy fentanyl and other drugs. So it's part of the technology killing people, "says Bill Gates.
But his assessment did not go unnoticed. Many users came across as "ignorant" and "uninformed" about virtual currencies and asked them not to comment on these currencies without getting the right information beforehand.
Gates is not the first to criticize virtual currencies but is the first to link these coins to criminality.
