Bill Gates plays with an iPhone occasionally, but usually carries an Android phone
If you are an Android user and are upset about the lack of an Android version of the app, there is good news. Clubhouse co-founder Paul Davison was also part of the interview with Bill Gates and he discussed the importance of adding an Android version of the Clubhouse because of the global dominance of the Android platform worldwide. Davison said that when asked what new feature the Clubhouse is looking forward to adding to the Clubhouse, they replied “Android”.
Gates said that only in the past few weeks has he heard more and more about the Clubhouse and the topic of a room called “Steve Jobs Stories” came up and Davison from the Clubhouse called it an “incredible room” filled with many of Apple’s original engineers and Mac. But we are digressing.
Other topics were discussed, including Bitcoin and the weather. Gates studied climate change and said that “Bitcoin uses more electricity per transaction than any other (payment) method known to man.” He goes on to call himself a “Bitcoin skeptic” and says he has never invested in this sector. “I buy malaria vaccines, I buy measles vaccines, I invest in companies that make products,” said Gates. “If other people find their fortune that way, I applaud them.”
An interesting question was asked: “Is Bill Gates a player?” Now it may be a stereotype to think that Gates was / is a nerd and nerds play video games. As a result, you may be surprised to learn that the man who co-founded a software company that develops games (among other titles, of course) is not a player. “I play Bridge,” said Gates, “which by some definitions is a game.”
