People who invested tons of money into crypto
Whether for inspiration/motivation or just as a pure information for those who want to know I'm making a list of people that invested more than they personally know in cryptocurrencies. These folks have risked it all, some making profit and some not since in the crypto world we never know whats going to happen for sure.
============================================================
Winklevoss Twins
The twin brothers Tyler and Cameron are not only known for accusing Mark Zuckerberg but they are owners of Gemini and huge cryptocurrency lovers.In April 2013, when bitcoin was worth $120, they bought $11 million worth of coins, about 1 percent of all the coins in circulation at the time. That purchase has since made them among the first bitcoin billionaires.
Tim Draper
One of the biggest crypto evangelist.He never loses his doubt in cryptocurrencies even when the prices are extreme low.He is very optimistic and that makes him one of the people to follow !
Ari Paul
Have you folks read his blog posts about crypto investing ? If not then you definitely should look for them! Ari Paul is the CIO and co-founder of BlockTower Capital, a cryptocurrency company specialized for investing.
Marc van der Chijs
Investor in a Chinese platform similar to YouTube but called Tudou . He is the director of FirstCoin.com which is an investment bank for token and coin offerings
Barry Silbert
In December 2014, the US Marshall's office sold off 50,000 bitcoins that it had seized from Silk Road, an online marketplace mostly used for selling illicit goods. All but 2,000 of those bitcoins were bought by Barry Silbert, the founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group, a cryptocurrency investment firm.
Charlie Shrem
Also known as the Bitcoin early adopter.The entrepreneur got in on the early days of Bitcoin and was a member of the Bitcoin Foundation, which was supposed to protect the use of Bitcoin but has seen several of its leaders under criminal investigation. It's still unknown how much he actually has at this moment but it's been said that when he got released and the price was low he bought some which now could potentially be worth millions.

Wow so many people have invested big time in crypto hmm I wonder how long it took some of them to gather so much. Also I have never head of the site Tudou before interesting so it`s sorta like youtube eh? I wonder if that site runs off of crypto currencies? that would be interesting if it did.
It probably is something similar to YouTube. I tried to open it and it was all in Chinese, couldn't understand a thing but the design wasn't bad.I honestly have no idea whether it works off of cryptos but it would be such a good idea.
Thanks for the feedback!
No problem ah and you actually went and checked it out eh? it sounds pretty promising as far as layout goes. Too bad is in chinese sadly I can`t understand a singe bit of it. Although I can identify a small amount of japanese.
Knowing multiple languages is really good ! = )
yes it really is even if said language you know very little of it is still very handy to have :D
Thanks for sharing, I definitely am becoming obsessed with crypto & can't wait to see what the future holds in that realm.
:)
Thank you for the feedback = ) Cryptocurrencies are definitely an amazing thing that happened to us.
I wonder when the twins started selling or if they even did? Could you imagine having that much and selling it when it was around lets say 4 or 500 dollars and then have to watch it climb to nearly 20 grand? That would have been my luck!
They saw the potential in Bitcoin and they probably made huge amount. Everyone that invested / had confidence in the Bitcoin project from the beginning earned big. They are all smart people. Honestly I had people asking me whether they should invest in BTC but I was skeptical about it and I said its risky so they didn't and the price wasn't very high. When the price came close to 20k I was thinking how much they would profit if they invested :x
The point of this is that crypto is something very beautiful but weird and unknown in the same time.
Thanks for the feedback = )
This is certainly some very interesting info
Thanks Chelsea ! = )
