Anthony Scaramucci now has a billion dollars in bitcoin after its price appreciation

Want a billion dollars in bitcoin?

That's easy, just start with $250 million.

That's how Anthony Scaramucci did it.

He invested $250 million into bitcoin a while back and it's now worth more than a billion at current prices.

If you invested a long long time ago, that billion dollar number gets a lot easier and you need a lot less to start with.

Hopefully we can say something similar 10-20 years from now.

Sort:  

Easier way is to buy altcoins and sell them for Dogecoin and then sell Dogecoin for Bitcoin ;) Need a lot less initial balance for that ;)

Only if the altcoins go up.

Most do if you buy enough...

Most Altcoins have been under performing bitcoin for a while now...

I've noticed that some altcoins follow USD pretty closely instead of Bitcoin or Ethereum. That means, most of Bitcoin (and Ethereum) trading volume comes from something else than trading against altcoins, but we already knew that...

Primary market pairs for altcoins for last year or so have been Litecoin first and then Dogecoin. I've seen some very small exchanges switch to stablecoin pairs, but those exchanges barely attract any bigtime traders, so total daily volume is less than 100 USD.

What altcoins follow USD instead of btc?

You can check them with statistics sites like CoinLore... Basically the site still shows positive gain values for USD, but negative values for other base currencies... There is few thousand cryptocurrencies listed on most statistics sites, so going through all of them is pointless...

My own cryptocurrency clearly follows USD.

Most go up and down with bitcoin.
