Investopedia names Barry Silbert, Dan Morehead, Tyler, Cameron Winklevoss, Michael Novogratz, and Digital Asset Holdings as the top 5 Bitcoin Investors.
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are reportedly the first bitcoin billionaires who are reportedly holding nearly 100,000 coins.
Dan Morehead launched the first cryptocurrency fund in the U.S. at that time; Bitcoin was trading for $65 each.
Michael Novogratz is now stirring the BTC pot every day, and he is the famously bullish bitcoin investor who predicted a $40,000 price a month before it began a year-long collapse.
Barry Silbert, the founder of Digital Currency Group, has more than 125 blockchain-related investments.
Like there are believers, there are haters of Bitcoin, and they have their own reasons to be doing so.
Bill Gates, Charlie Munger, Jamie Dimon, Joseph Stiglitz, Nouriel Roubini, Paul Krugman, and Warren Buffet are the well-known Bitcoin Haters.
Bill Gates addressed investing in Bitcoin in a conversation about Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s Bitcoin holdings. Because Gates described Bitcoin’s ups and downs as “random,” his words also suggest he may not believe the coin’s price necessarily tracks its intrinsic value.
Charlie Munger stated: “Of course I hate the Bitcoin success. I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful to kidnappers and extortionists and so forth.”
Jamie Dimon said that Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency market cap, is not supported by any assets. “Something that’s not supported by anything I do not believe has much value.
Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel-Prize-winning economist, says cryptocurrencies should be shut down. He worries that they enable illicit activity by making money transactions less transparent.
Nouriel Roubini, Luckily the FBI & other law enforcement will use the same approach to nab all the 1000s of criminals/crooks in the crypto space. If recovering some BTC ransomware crashed BTC by 6% overnight, wait until a full network of crypto crooks are captured next. Then you get crypto meltdown.
Paul Krugman expressed, Bitcoin has clearly failed in its mission to become money, but its value is sustained because it has become a sort of natural Ponzi scheme.
Warren Buffet: “I don’t have any Bitcoin. I don’t own any cryptocurrency, I never will,”
Summary per Stephen Diehl: Every crypto company should be considered completely fraudulent until proven otherwise. There are far too many bad actors for normal corporate trust dynamics to function anymore.
Some haters are unwilling to invest a dime in BTC, and some are taking to go all in. People who are balanced, well-educated, can consider possible outcomes have their own likes and dislikes.
