在中国普遍打压比特币之时，亚洲首富李嘉诚已经提高了他在比特币的投资，在为陷入困境的数字货币投了振奋人心的一票。

尽管迫于政治压力，比特币的价格暴跌，亿万富翁通过他的风险投资公司已经投入一笔钱到Bitpay ，未公开金额，相信是价值数百万美元，Bitpay 相当于比特币的paypal。

在短短半年时间，从1242美元的高峰跌落, 比特币的全球价格已经跌去了四分之三的价值。由于中国央行要求国内金融机构停止为比特币公司和个人客户提供业务，比特币价格大跌，最近，央行一再警告保护人民币的价值，也导致价格大跌。

周一，美国政府公布的报告说，如果北京成功地阻止中国用户购买比特币，价格将继续下跌，并会威胁比特币的合法性。

评论：大亨继续投资，是抄底，还是失误？政府的用意何在？

 

Asia’s richest man Li Ka-shing has boosted his investment in bitcoin, in a vote of confidence for the beleaguered digital currency, amid a crackdown on its widespread popularity in China.

Despite the price of a bitcoin tumbling from political pressure, the billionaire tycoon has poured an undisclosed amount of money, believed to be worth millions of dollars, into Bitpay, the bitcoin equivalent to PayPal, through his venture capital investment company Horizons Ventures.

Bitpay has raised US$30 million (HK$233 million) in Series A funding (convertible into common shares when an IPO is launched) from eight investors including Li’s money-spinning vehicle, Horizons. Fellow investors include Virgin’s Richard Branson, and top technology men including billionaires, the founder of Yahoo, Jerry Yang, and PayPal founder Peter Thiel.

Gallippi, also the company’s executive chairman, added: “Unlike existing payment technologies such as credit cards, with their high fees and risk of fraud and chargebacks, Bitcoin was designed for the internet age (sic), offering companies a lower-cost, lower-risk alternative.”

A spokeswoman for Horizons Ventures said: “We do not comment on any deals or rumours.”

John Greenwood, the architect of Hong Kong’s pegged currency regime, told the South China Morning Post in December, said investors should follow Li’s move to buy into firms providing the services that bitcoin holders use.

Horizons has a long and successful track record of investing in technology start-ups that turned into global brands with Li, currently worth US$32 billion according to Bloomberg Billionaires index, among the investors. Some of Horizons investment successes are social network behemoth Facebook and voice-over-IP service provider Skype, now owned by Microsoft.

Index Ventures Partner Jan Hammer, another of the investors alongside Horizon, added: “We see BitPay playing a key role in the future of electronic payments and paving the path for digital currency bitcoin.”

The global price of bitcoin has lost three-quarters of its value in just six months, tumbling from a peak of US$1,242 per coin. The latest price fall comes on repeated warnings from China’s central bank asking mainland financial institutions to stop doing business with bitcoin companies and individual customers to protect the value of the renminbi.

A US Government report published on Monday said if Beijing successfully prevents Chinese users from accessing bitcoin, price declines would continue and threaten its legitimacy.

项目好根本就不需要以BTC来投的IPO。

李嘉诚投资bitpay好像是挺久之前的事了

抄底？失误？他投资公司，又不是进场炒币，不要总是把比特币和炒比特币紧紧地捆在一起

李嘉诚投资什么都是保密的吧，怎么可能公开了。而且李嘉诚投资也不会只投个几百万吧，投这么点钱对他有意义吗？

这才是亮点，李卖的是铲子，又不是币本身。。

李总要是来炒币，这世界就疯狂了。

李嘉诚风险基金这次又跟投了

他是长期投资，散户投机的能等得起吗？

虽然卖铲子，但这把铲子是专用比特币等虚拟币的。如果虚拟币成功，比特币一定也会成功，所以还是有关联的。

说得对, 市场不繁荣,没有暴富神话，谁会买铲子

老李还是很有眼光的 ，一直欣赏他。

软文，鉴定完毕，大家擦亮眼睛 :D

这篇软文的真实性值得怀疑。

眼光不同，仓位不同罢了

这个软文水平还不错啊，哈哈哈

又是利好 那你赶快买入啊 人家投的是支付系统

成天拿XXX投资来说事，有意思吗

比特币的铲子是矿机吧？

李嘉诚，不得不佩服，去年卖房子，今年投资比特币。

李嘉城每年都卖很多东西，也投资很多东西
去年他卖了房子，肯定也有买进房子

有钱就可以投资很多东西，有价值就投一点，那么点小钱，在他看来，没什么，当买彩票

李嘉诚又没有直接投资比特币，而且投资额又不大

所谓投资就是顺风而行啊。。 8)

李嘉诚投资了一家Pay公司，投资多少钱是不公开的

嘉城兄眼光还是很毒辣的嘛！！

李氏已经直接开始大量购买比特币了，我想最近的价格上涨跟他的动作有关。

不能相信政府，要相信李嘉诚，看看，现在涨了吧，踏空的人，是不是很悲剧 ;D

有眼光

跟李大师走没错

大亨继续投资，是抄底

很多人都埋怨李生于中国却少投资中国
那请问从中国对比特币的打压中可以联想到 中国能有怎么样都投资环境？

超人的眼光岂是普通人能理解的？

不错，挺比特币得力量

挣钱才是硬道理

大户都是撒大网挣大钱

是啊，只有我们小散为那点涨跌在奋斗 >:(

李嘉诚每次投资基本都是收益颇丰，但愿这次也是

我也追随李嘉诚去，跟着大富当小富

你妈喊你回家吃饭了

真是人多嘴杂

no zuo no die, give me five

这就是钱多的优势，想投资什么就投资什么。

理解

天朝你懂的

房子他不可能还买的。。房子投资价值没有以前多了。。

非常理解

钱多就是好啊
