Bitcoin Forum

The crypto industry does not widely distribute the names of investors. They prefer to stay in the shade. Who do you think is the existing cryptoinvestor?
Who made the most profitable investment in cryptocurrency?

Why would I care about the investors. I care about crypto acceptance, crypto adoption. I will be happy to see a world where fiat is gone and crypto took over the everyday currency transaction. I would love to see when I buy something, I am paying with crypto. When I am selling something, I am accepting crypto.

When I will ask them to pay in dollar. They will say what is it? I will say never mind, it used to be a currency :-)

Honestly if we are talking about prominent names in crypto investments the first names coming out of my head are the Winklevoss twins which has a crypto portfolio value worth over a billion dollars during the 2017 Bull Run. Both Tyler and Cameron sued Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 for copying their ConnectU social platform which they won 65 million dollars from him. A part of that lawsuit winnings was invested in Bitcoin in 2013 when BTC was priced around120$ a piece. Now Winklevoss twins are still actively doing business in the industry, they currently own a crypto exchange named Gemini and they are currently pushing to have Bitcoin ETFs in the US market.

there is no "crypto industry" and there is no point in revealing your financial matters to others. nobody ever does that and it has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies! for example start from yourself will you publicly reveal your identity and tell us how much money you have, where do you have it and where you live?
obviously if you have half a brain you wouldn't do that. just the other day, there was a news in this topic about a trader who was boasting his profits and was attacked by some thieves! simply because he was advertising and sending them an invitation to come and steal his money!!!

Maybe you can check this thread  The Definitive List of Celebs [et al.] Embracing Bitcoin/Crypto w/Links (proof) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3199334.0), it's a good start. But as far as who have made tons of money here? hard to say as bitcoin address doesn't have names with it  ;D.

It is not true that big crypto investors stay in shadow, at least not all of them. Some of them are just not people who like media attention, others are concerned about their safety so they strive to keep their investments secret. But some of them are pretty public people, and they not hide, but rather the opposite.

Take for example founders of two biggest crypto exchanges, Coinbase - Brian Armstrong and Binance - Changpeng Zhao, they have few billion $ each, so we can call them quite successful investors in cryptocurrency. Many of them are founders of some popular coins, Anthony Diiorio ( co-founder of Ethereum), or Chris Larsen (Ripple).

Tim Draper is famous venture capital investor who buy 30 000 (some data say 40 000) bitcoins back in 2014 for 18$ million, and probably lot more after that. There are many well known and less well known investors in cryptocurrency, the list is pretty long.

One of the things that always make me smile.

Bitcoiners are (supposed to be at least) all about privacy, keeping your money safe, don't post on FB how many BTC you have but at the same time, there is no week without a topic in which people gather curious about how many BTC that guy or that guy has...
It's like when I was a child and I was spending summer in the countryside and all the old ladies gathered on the benches and gossiped only about the ones that weren't present, how much she has paid, how much he gets, where her husband is.

Nobody is willing to publish his account statements but half of the world is curious how much the neighbors have in the bank.

Roger Ver was the only person to pour millions into Bitcoin pre-2012 when it was completely unproven. He is unquestionably the second richest crypto holder after Satoshi himself.
Rick Falkvinge sold everything he owned, including his house, in order to buy Bitcoin in 2012 as well, he is probably up there next to Brian Armstrong in terms of crypto holdings.
The richest dudes are pretty much the most prominent Bitcoin Cash supporters nowadays, the early believers who didn't care about public opinion and went YOLO at $1-$10.

Yes Completely agree.

We have seen some example of coins such as TBC(The Billion Coin) which has considerably much higher price pumped by the community, but finally, it gets collapsed. This clearly signs that manipulation has no place in the crypto market.

Many are still thinking to buy cryptocurrencies as an investment to get higher returns by selling them at a higher price due to inflation, but very few people are actually using crypto for making money.

Whales can make the bigger shake in the crypto market but due to decentralization no one control price of BTC. But acceptance will make Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will make it much easier to send, receive and transact these digital currency electronically.

what is clear is that these investors are people who believe in future technology, and in my opinion these people are great people we already know but crypto lovers don't want to know
