Apple CEO Tim Cook invests on Crypto

[suzanne5223]

I am not surprised about this news because
1) Government fails to bring Bitcoin
2) IMF boss advises the government to join the crypto system.
3) Kiyosaki advises people to use crypto as a hedge fund which the pandemic proves him right.
4) Tesla makes more money through their investment in crypto and Elon tweeted when fiat is not profitable only the dumb won't seek an alternative.

 I believe almost all the Billionaires, Millionaires and celebrities invested in Bitcoin though they might not invest in it directly but some of them do it through firms like Grayscale and the reason will don't know this is because the company cannot disclose the information of their customers to the public.

Even if it's an Apple CEO or other company leader, it's a natural thing.

Yep, it is a natural thing. But having them in crypto industry is great news for crypto future. People will more trust in crypto because they assume a top person like Tim Cook won't choose a bad thing for investment. It is like a booster for crypto industry, making all parties be more confident to stay with crypto.

Tim Cook said himself that crypto investments were only made of his personal will and it was clear that Apple had no intention of adopting crypto.

For now, Apple company may have no interest. But we don't know what this company will do in the future. If they view crypto can be a good source for their income and it looks secure enough, they may consider buying crypto at any time. Moreover, Tesla is already investing in crypto, it can be a special motivation for other companies to follow as well.

or for some known personalities, they just don't want to disclose to the public that they own some crypto, they are just happy to be silent holders. who knows, some of these wealthy personalities are long time crypto holders and just hiding their assets in crypto somewhere? i think that's already happening.
so with the disclosure of the Apple CEO is not a surprise for me. maybe, he's just waiting for the right time to announce it in public. which, can very well be positive as some who are still hesitant towards crypto may change their stance.

That now many people have seen the benefits that crypto provides, so only crypto haters are still rejecting crypto until now. Because if we want to do
research properly, there really is no reason not to invest in crypto. If we talk about Bitcoin, it is very difficult to find other assets that can provide profit
in a pandemic situation like now. And Bitcoin is very successful in providing investors with opportunities to make a lot of money in this pandemic situation.
So famous people like Tim Cook would also be interested in trying to invest in cryptocurrencies, now is the time for everyone to start investing in crypto.

Apple CEO Tim Cook have invested on cryptocurrency. He has disclosed it in a recorded interview. He mentioned it as part of his diversified portfolio. His investment was from his personal point, and Apple doesn't have any plans of investing/accepting cryptocurrency. This is a big news, and were into discussion around the social media platforms. Majority of the huge company CEO's own crypto. This is a big thing and an indication of growth of cryptocurrency network.

Why is this a big news? This shouldn't be a big news. We shouldn't make this a big news. All it will do is enable them to manipulate the market at their will. Tim Cook invested in BTC, people will FOMO, price will pump. Tim Cook will dump his coin and say something bad about crypto currencies, FUDs are going to spread, people will start dumping, price will fall. Who made all the profit? Tim Cook. Who will reinvest his profit during the dump? Tim Cook. Who is the fool and lost everything? You.

This comes to the reality that nobody could afford to ignore Bitcoin and even poor individuals are also taking shares from their salary just to invest this. How much more the rich people like him, a CEO of a known and very popular company, that is not surprising.
I guess, he knows best than the majority of the people around. Investing is the best strategy to grow and keep our wealth healthier.
Not only him have that kind of positive insight towards crypto but I guess, those also who have heard about Bitcoin especially at his time that Bitcoin has been proven already as not a scam or Ponzi scheme.

With Tim Cook starts to invest in crypto, probably more people will embrace crypto as its the most powerful investment at this digital age. And thinking that bitcoin could hit more expensive price as months and years go by, then its always a good reason to start investing in it now, and see your investments turning into millions in the coming years. This is only if you are seeing the positive side in bitcoin, but if you are still hesitant on it, make a deep research first before making such move.

[jossiel]

I've seen that news when Cook has admitted he owns bitcoin and ethereum.

I think that whenever there are influential people and known like Cook admitted invested into cryptocurrencies, it's favorable to the market. Speculators that are still learning their ways on crypto can get a signal from him and others.

Let's just look at the positive side of the news and giving the hint, and IMHO, we might see some better news that will involve his company integrated with crypto payments soon.

[killerfrost]

But news like this is confirming the fact that there are many important people supporting the field.
I think after a lot of news surrounding this market, in the future there will be many other powerful people standing out to support crypto.
The leading large corporations are responding to the rise of the market, and this is still an opportunity for everyone.

That possibility can indeed happen, depending on Apple's company policies in the future. Cryptocurrency has become very popular and has been recognized by several countries. Tesla led by Elon Musk made big news when it started accepting bitcoins and this caused bitcoin to reach its new ATH.
It is hoped that cryptocurrency will be adopted by many large companies, so that crypto development will be more rapid and become a more revolutionary optional payment in the future

That is certainly hopeful. Small companies, even the other big companies are also watching who's next to adopt crypto. It serves as a mirror to them and I guess, everyone is more excited to hear that more companies will consider this and let the community make use of their crypto as it has been accepted as an alternative payment.

They are known companies that give the influence and the courage for the others. This will surely increase demand on the market knowing that many companies are accepting this. Well, that leads to pumps in the price of crypto as well, especially for Bitcoin.

It's interesting to know, I wonder how many hundreds or thousands of Bitcoin he has tucked away. For people at that level it simply costs pocket change which is quickly replenished from their massive stock holdings that pay dividends on a regular basis. It's definitely true that money breeds more money. Alas for us poorer people at least it gives Bitcoin a boost both publicity wise and by reducing the amount in circulation - as I doubt he will ever empty his Bitcoin wallet. It would be interesting to see how many top CEO's have publicly mentioned owning Bitcoin in a private capacity, or which ones have declared that they are adamantly against it.

Part if reality on where those people who do have the finances will always have the advantage when it comes to situations or opportunities like this and since they do have the money to spent out then they can make out investment freely or without any problems.

What we do have on here is that we do really love to see on how recognition of Bitcoin do gradually able to hear out or reached those people who do have some significant popularity or fame which is really a big plus for having this one.

On upcoming future then there would more of these kind of events and happenings in talks about recognition.

[Abiky]

I have a suspicion that people who are fully immersed in technology such as Apple's Tim Cook or Facebook's Zuckerberg and others have already detected Bitcoin on their radar much earlier. It is next to impossible they haven't encountered Bitcoin early on. Many of them must have bought Bitcoin, albeit secretly. Perhaps to avoid stirring up the hornet's nest. Coming out is easier nowadays with Bitcoin more accepted than ever. It would be interesting to know how long this “for a while” of Tim Cook is.

Anyway, Tim Cook is in. There's no reason why the ordinary Juan remains hesitant.

Of course. Most of these tech giants have already invested into Bitcoin within its early days. They kept it in secret in order to stay out of the limelight. Now that Bitcoin is popular, they're starting to get out of the shadows. It's not surprising to see Tim Cook on crypto since he's a tech-savvy person after all. I'd bet Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and other powerful tech entrepreneurs already have their stake on crypto. They're just waiting for the right time to expose their secret in order to gain all of the attention in the mainstream world. It doesn't matter who invests on crypto, as long as it stays decentralized. Who knows what the future will look like after crypto becomes largely adopted by everyday people? Just my thoughts

this guy is quite undetectable with his crypto investments

it's actually very good if apple hasn't invested in bitcoin because if apple makes an investment and announces it to the public then the price will definitely explode and that's really too fast

Apple will definitely invest in bitcoin, maybe in the next few years

If he decides to invest in cryptocurrency, his partner in Apple will be curious and maybe they will follow him. But I think Apple will invest in bitcoin or maybe Apple is already investing in bitcoin secretly and not telling the public about that.

I like to hear about him who has an open mind about something new and wants to be involved in bitcoin because of his personal point. He wants to diversify his portfolio and make money from cryptocurrency.

Sooner or later, we could see Apple launch its own project about cryptocurrency and for their customer as we see that they have a large user who uses their devices.

Crypto haters will indeed find it hard to believe the positive things that crypto gives, because they are too focused on the lack of crypto.
This means that crypto haters don't think openly and always think of crypto as something negative. Indeed it is their right to hate crypto,
and there is no compulsion to love crypto. But one day when this crypto hater realized his wrong thinking, then this will only create great
regret for him in the future. There are also crypto haters who see crypto as a rival and a hindrance, as bank officials feel, who think the banking
system will be replaced by crypto. Even though it's a false assumption, crypto provides a solution for everyone to make transactions more
transparent and effective, and Bitcoin was created not to replace fiat but as an alternative to payments other than fiat. So either fiat or Bitcoin
will still co-exist.

This is great news because even though Apple is not accepting crypto yet but the fact that their CEO invested in crypto, that's already positive news and there's a possibility that in the near future the company will try to accept crypto guided by the regulation since apple is a big company and they must always be in compliant.

It could be the personal decision of Tim Cook, but he himself understands that the adoption of crypto will help his investment to grow.

So if you know what I'm saying, you'll know what's going to happen.

[uelque]

Why do we care about another rich guy who only buys crypto but doesn't use it? As OP says it's just a personal point, nothing to do with Apple investing or planning to make crypto use a part of their company policy.

This is not an indication of crypto growth just an increase of crypto ownership. Not a bad thing but not the same as "mass adoption".

I disagree. Because first of all, he is not just another rich guy investing in crypto, he's a well known rich guy. And even though it has nothing to do with apple, but by the fact that he's acquiring bitcoin or other cryptos out there, announcing it to the public can truly make a huge impact.

And also, maybe in the near future, if ever Apple find some stuffs in crypto that will bring something new and great advantage to their company, they might create a new product with crypto along with it. Because the CEO itself is investing in crypto, he must be into something and not just doing that stuffs for his own interest. There must be a hidden purpose, that is what I think.
