Meet the Wealthiest People in Crypto

[Pr3ko]

Are you talking about whales?

[BeGoods]

I don't believe the wealthiest will reveal their identity and their assets to the public, that will endanger if not their lives their assets as well. Shallow waters are the noisy waters so I believe these so called self proclaimed wealthy people from cryptocurrency just want popularity. They want to be talked about and be famous. Some wealthy people are talking about how wealthy they are because they are promoting their businesses and they want to convince people by their financial statuses in life.

I also not believe that the richest person will make him feel threatened criminals by spreading his name who has become the richest person, it makes no sense and I'm sure you arw right someone who wants to do popularity to the public is the possibility of fake news. for the OP HODL article its not something that is sure to become rich without continuing to adopt

I never found someone who publicly stated that they have thousands of bitcoin in their wallet, maybe we can only see it on the blockchain. see thousand of bitcoin, in one addressed. Yeah, I think rich people will never say the amount of their wealth.
one that we know publicly is the owner of gambling sites and exchange sites

Of course wealthy people should not make a public post on their crypto assets for the sake of security.As long as you are thinking rightly,you will surely avoid posting publicly that will give some hints to the hidden scammers.I think the wealthiest people for now are those considered the early adopters of crypto.

I am beginning to imagine where Forbes would have gotten their data to rate this individuals because going by the concept of blockchain decentralization, the assets are kept anonymously and made known at the descretion of owners.

[babysweetTiger0401]

Hello everyone,
Forbes recently released a listing of the arena’s richest individuals in phrases of cryptocurrency. There are presently 19 people inside the global who personal an equivalent of greater than $350 million in crypto assets. The top owners of cryptocurrency inside the global amassed their wealth in a diffusion of methods, however maximum are founders of large cryptocurrency initiatives and cryptocurrency exchange platforms. Others are both individual traders or a part of funding groups and a few have established very worthwhile cryptocurrency mining operations. the one factor that the richest in crypto have in commonplace is that they are all of the sorts to “HODL” (hold on for expensive existence), that means that they hold directly to their cryptocurrency thru any downturns inside the marketplace and aren’t short to make crypto-to-crypto or crypto-to-fiat trades.
Thank you!

I do believed that crypto can make us rich depending in our choice of coins that we are going to hold in a long term.
Perhaps, most of the people who became rich here in crypto became patience and experts in choosing altcoins which is the best
and have great volume in the market and promising one.

[barlo357]

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.

Most of the people that I heard became rich in the cryptocurrency are the people who trusted that bitcoin is going to blow up in the next few years or so. And there are people who are very unlucky in a way that their hard drive got broken.

Thats too bad if you lost your bitcoin accidentally but those cases are mainly old enough because people on the past dont really knew that bitcoin could fly this high  . they didnt treat thier bitcoin as a precious gem and as a result they didnt make any back ups  .

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.

Buying is useless without holding  . they cannot earn big and become a millionaire/billionaire if they didnt know how to hold long term  .  and you think hodling is easy ? Well think again   .  only few were succesful to hold until now

You have to also admit that a lot of it is due to luck and good timing,,, anyone who got into Bitcoin at the time it first started did not actually have much option other than Bitcoin. So BTC did well and they all got lucky, but timing was the most important.

Anyone who got into Bitcoin end of 2017 is a victim of bad timing. But they just need to wait, and they will probably get lucky!

[ethereumhunter]

I think there are many more people who have a lot of cryptocurrencies that are worth more, but they don't tell other people about that. If I am the wealthiest person in the crypto, I will not says other people too because that will too risky for me. Besides that, I can be the new target for people who want to steal my money, and I will prevent that thing to be happening to me or my family. It is better to stay under the radar and not telling other people what we have.

[michaellll12]

I don't think that they made all their wealth just by hodling. I am sure they got wealthy due to many actions , such as buying on low prices and then selling on high, speculation etc..

Exactly that is the reason why I think that people who are really wealthy in Bitcoin are anonimous. Who smart enough would reveal identity and become a target? Those who only show of are not the biggest Bitcoin owners, that is my opinion. Security is very important.

I think that the wealthiest people usually hide their personality. Bitcoin gives them privacy so i don't think that we will hear their names.

Naturally, most of them will stay incognito. Most of the heads on the leading projects like Ethereum, NEO, Binance are among the richest people that have cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, the crypto market has such people as Tim Draper. He started thinking about cryptocurrencies fifteen years ago when he met a guy in South Korea who bought a virtual sword for his son for cash. Draper bought BTC for the sum of $ 250,000 while the price was at $ 6. Now he has about $ 500 million.

I am not even sure that the main people that have money in cryptocurrency is even known because just recently, I saw some threads on how someone moved about 1 billion dollars within the market and that would surely be a transaction that belongs to one person, or it could be group of person anyway, but people really have money in cryptocurrency and they are extremely rich people which you would not even know.

I would not also be surprised if we have some government money in the bitcoin market also because we would have some that would believe in it but will have to carry out the transaction is covert way where it would not be much known to people. I hope that one day, I can also join the group of richest people in cryptocurrency.

[erricducducan26]

And where is the list? 

[Pepz79]

I bet CZ is one of the fist amoung them.

[NewBet]

We don't even know the wealthiest people in crypto because they do not associate their Bitcoin with who they are. many Bitcoin millionaires have their private keys on paper wallets and we will never find out who they are, as they will sell their Bitcoins for cash. or they will transfer their Bitcoins into an anonymous altcoin so that they cannot be traced.

[judeafante]

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...

I have to agree on that if you are a big holders of Bitcoin and other top coins in the market, and you are living in a third world country or country that has a restriction on Cryptocurrency, you don't want your name added to that list or to any list of Crypto whales, whatever coins or tokens that maybe, you have to protect yourself and your coins as well.

actually many of those wallets with over a billion dollars are owned by exchanges. These large transactions are made by The exchange to move funds from one wallet to another for their operational purposes.

As for the government, well yes the FBI is already involved with cryptocurrency and has been for almost ever since it was created. They have been investigating the Silk road and their legal activities involved with Bitcoin.

[Anegg]

It is interesting to seen how the amounts are flowing in the top wallets and where its ending up and for how long.
Im sure the most individuals that are in the top100 wont let the world know they own the private key.

That would be the smart thing to do.

Some people don't realize the dangers of having this information in the public eye, and this is something many can understand even though we do not wield the wealth of these crypto millionaires.
To be honest, forbes releasing this sort of article only serves to endanger those listed, in reality, no one really cares about who they are and this is an act of flaunting wealth to gain relevance.
