Meet the Wealthiest People in Crypto

[bhabygrim]

We are talking here about people that we DO know. There are a lot of crypto billionaires we don't know about. And we never will. Take Satoshi as an example. He is a crypto billionaire and we will never know who he is...

Yes in crypto we couldn't know the real name behind every wallet so we couldn't know who are the wealthiest people in crypto.
I don't really think that the Whales would really anounce their name for publicity .
For me it is better to stay low profile rather than making some publicity because you could endanger your life and also your family members.

If among the 19 richest people is a coin owner or the founder of the crypto exchange, I think it's natural that they are in the position of the richest person. But if among the 19 people there are traders, that's just extraordinary, they have gone through a lot of conditions like the bear market but they are still consistently holding.
This is the soul that we must have, because crypto changes depend on our own awareness

It would be nice if you published a link to this article, since you are talking about it. I think that you are right about what you've found out. A couple of months ago iafe a small research of my own, taking a look at the wealthiest bitcoin wallets and their transactions. People were saying back than that whales are causing the down trend, selling off their holdings, by what I also noticed as a general trend was that the addresses with the biggest amounts of bitcoins (exchange cold wallets excluded) were showing either no recent transactions or some incoming ones (so people were buying even more). It's not the big guys ruling the market. Those people are indeed holders.

there are a lot of guys if reveal their names would probably be at the top of that list. In this crypto world many scammers and manipulative people can get very rich at the expense of other people's suffering. Just see the amount of shit projects that are created every day for the sole purpose of enriching their creators

But I don't surprise if the wealthiest people in crypto come from the owner of the exchanges...

It is during these hours that I would like to know who is the owner of yobit

Crypto appears to be making the wealth gap worse.

Deylandra.io – a crypto currency designed to strip the 1% of their power.

[Pursuer]

you can't technically count exchanges and big services that deal with processing transactions and are holding other people's money under the category of "wealthiest people in crypto". because they don't exactly own those coins and if people one day choose to abandon that platform they withdraw all their bitcoins and transfer them back to their own pockets in their own control.

the wealthiest people are never going to come out because of the privacy that bitcoin has offered them and since most of them are early adopters and those people knew better how to correctly use bitcoin because they educated themselves and weren't blinded by greed only wanting to become rich.

As expected, the real questions here would be are this people who were also responsible for the price manipulation that most of us are complaining about?

well, it might mean that they buy more crypto when its price drops. it doesn't mean that they made their wealth by hodling crypto only.

They might but I guess this are just a small portions. If most of them really were founders of any large trading or exchanges sites then buying and selling is just a part of their daily activities regardless of the price they still hold a huge amount of assets.

"these people" in this topic are mainly the big addresses that you can find on the bitcoin blockchain and since most of them aren't actually "people" or whales the answer to your question is not. services and exchanges,... that OP is counting as rich people weren't responsible for the price manipulations.

[Muzika]

Apparently, we are only talking to the people that want to expose their wealth on cryptocurrency and not to the people that really had a good wealth on cryptocurrency, remember we are all anonymous here and no one knows who has a largest amount of crpyto and who has nothing.

[Yara1]

I don't believe they made all their wealth just by hodling, they wealth may be as a result of so many activities in the crypto market such as buying at early stage when price is low and undertaken some crypto services such as mining and exchange as you have mentioned.

Well maybe but the fact that there is a person behind every addresses that we were actually talking about right?

This as example
https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/3D2oetdNuZUqQHPJmcMDDHYoqkyNVsFk9r

sending -15,946.95799204 BTC    in just one transaction can leads me to some assumption tho I don't have enough information to what I am actually saying 

I am even shock that this wallet is I think not that old since it starts from 3 than 1

You got a point there .  there are so many millionaires and billionaires in this world and their wealth is much more compare to the rich people that we see on the net  .  they dont want to expose their identity because they knew to their self that it was a dangerous act vs the fame that they will achieve  .

I don't believe they made all their wealth just by hodling, they wealth may be as a result of so many activities in the crypto market such as buying at early stage when price is low and undertaken some crypto services such as mining and exchange as you have mentioned.

Agreed .  i witnessed alot of wealthy people and most of them are hardworking  . they dont stick at one business or one job . they prefer to do multi tasking because their goal is to become wealthy someday and luckily they achieve that dream  . good for them

Forbes recently released a listing of the arena’s richest individuals in phrases of cryptocurrency.

Give us a source of this. I would glad to read to know the names of the wealthiest in crypto.
Some of the richest I know was the founder of BitmeX and Binance.

you can easily find the "source" on the internet if you search the topic with the name "Forbes". but let me tell you that you will be disappointed because there is no "names" in that list, there is only speculation and bitcoin addresses that they are evaluating the price of.

[Malsetid]

These people are probably very early adopters or they already have a lot of money to begin with. Of course if you started out hoarding bitcoins back in 2010 with it' less than a dollar value, and kept them until now, then there's a big chance you're be more than a millionnaire now. Of course that takes a lot of guts and trust in a product that you're not sure about at the time.

I have watch a movie series in Netflix called Blacklist ,
It is a series of the most wanted person but not on the watch list an unknown criminals.
And I think it could also be similar to your question or topic .
We have a list of wealthy person but I know there are something like Blacklist in crypto the wealthiest of them all but the person would remain anonymous.

Numerous whales are still in cryptomarket, public one are those that are doing businesses and need publicity to support their expertise, numerous data about unmoved supplies of BTC are still there without any movements, any certainly they are collectively owned by somebody, no signs of positivism regarding the industry for awhile and 20,000 BTC buy ordered were placed, triggering an 20% up in market cap, certainly its some insider jobs that profit using their big assets

Thats true, especially on the internet is very vulnerable to theft, known identities can be the target of hackers to steal, that's why they should hide their identities, if they have a lot of money in wallet. but we can see how many bitcoin they have in blockchain and I've seen an address that has thousands of bitcoins, he must be a millionaire..

[maydna]

No wonder if they are the wealthiest people in crypto because they already have so many altcoins or they are developers from one big project. But I don't see a name from ordinary people who are in the list, but I am sure that there are many of ordinary people who accidentally join in the cryptocurrency and 2017-2018, they sell all of their coins to make a lot of money, and they don't expose to the public. And they came back again in the middle of 2018 to buy so many coins including to buy bitcoin with a big amount.

This year will have more wealthiest people in crypto because we almost get into the bull market or if this year the bull market is not coming, still, in the future, there will be so many wealthiest people in crypto. I wish that all of us can be the wealthiest people in crypto and we can gain more and more profit in the future.

As bitbunnny says, there might be richer people in phrases of crypto but they do not want to be known by the world. So maybe forbes should be add the word "revealed" or "known" on their article about this richest people.

Interesting reading, some very lucky people there. Of course you create your own luck & crypto was even riskier to invest in pre 2013/14. I would love to have been aware of bitcoin back then.

Kudos to them though.
