American multi-billionaire George Soros attacked everything and everyone in Davos on Thursday, where the World Economic Forum is being held: Trump's government, social networks, bitcoin.

Like last year, the 87-year-old billionaire turned his attention to the administration of US President Donald Trump, whom he considers "a danger to the world", writes Hina.

He also mentioned Vladimir Putin's Russia, a "mafia state", in the reception hall of a luxury hotel in a Swiss ski resort.

In front of those present, Soros attacked the internet giants Facebook and Google.

He described them as "ever-increasingly powerful monopolists" who might be tempted to link up with "authoritarian regimes" to create "a totalitarian network that neither Huxley nor Orwell could have devised in their novels Brave New World and 1984. ".

"Davos is a good place to announce that their days are numbered," he said as the internet giants sent an armada of representatives there.

When asked about bitcoin, he said "it's not a currency" commenting that its frequent growth is "a typical soap bubble". He does not believe, however, in a "precipitous fall" of Bitcoin, rather in a gradual one.
