The last page of Digital Gold: "You know what? I told the foundation not to touch Bitcoin and that may have been a mistake," Gate said, amicably. "We are going to call you."

They did.

There was also some part of promoting some expensive alternative instead of giving the poor people access to the TCP/IP of money.

It was Wences that approached Gates at the Allen & Co conference. He told Bill, "You're spending billions to make poor people poorer."

The Gates Foundation was pushing people into the financial system that they could not afford. I'm not sure what that was but I'm sure it was institutional and would have enriched others. According to the book, Gates got a little defensive but Wences gently pushed on and to Gates' credit, he understood and gave Wences an opening.

Someone told Gates Bitcoin was a scam so he dismissed it. He may have taken a second look and understood it is a way to let the poor obtain and store value.
