Apple CEO Tim Cook invests on Crypto

[riskarcher]

That's why the value of bitcoin every period is always increasing because many CEO of companies invest their money for the long term and for themselves because they know how the crypto market works especially bitcoin. This is good news that will slowly give positive wind to the crypto market. It is only a matter of time before Bitcoin becomes one of the highest investment assets in the investment market. Tim Cook has made the right choice and maybe this will have a positive impact on the development of blockchain technology at Apple

I doubted they are the main reason for this continuous market surge coz if we find out more individuals(not known personalities are also investing), though they only have a small capital however their number is big that could just beat the number of these CEO.
Nevertheless, this news become influential to others and that could encourage big companies leaders to have their journey in the crypto world. As this Apple company will adopt the system and accept crypto as a mode of payment, the more it gains attention and the more it helps crypto to grow more and be accepted globally.

If that's the reason BTC is going up, then it's too simplistic and only a small, insignificant percentage.  The involvement of large companies investing in crypto is the result of the hype that has been going on for a long time.  The trend is always positive so that it gives them a much greater chance of doubling their wealth.

The Bitcoin market is no longer responding to these small hypes. Late in the day, In fact, John Linda realizes that it is better to invest long-term in Bitcoin to avoid money risk due to inflation. As the price of fuel oil is rising worldwide, which could lead to a sharp rise in global inflation.

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.

This is going to get more and more interesting when other industries make their move into crypto and the users of their tech follow them.
All it takes is a reputable person to get into something and others below him to follow him.

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.

I agree Tim Cook is not an ordinary rich man, he is one of the most famous people in the tech world with a pretty good reputation. So with him
investing in crypto and being known to the public, of course the effect is quite large. After all Tim Cook is also Apple CEO, so at least if he feels
the benefits of crypto after he invests in crypto. I believe he will give advice to the Apple company to adopt crypto. Although now he says investing
in crypto is for personal use only and has nothing to do with Apple. But it is very strange if only for personal interest, why would he tell the public
that he started investing in crypto. For me Tim Cook has a specific purpose in doing that, so it will be very interesting to see how the Apple
company moves in the next few months, because my prediction will not be long before the Apple company will soon adopt crypto.

Do you people find this to be more interesting and a big news in the market. I don't think it so, and I find this to be a news that is common. In my view Tim Cook could've invested on cryptocurrency long back itself. Now only he had got an opportunity to reveal to the outer world, as well as there is more legal support for bitcoin than the past.

We dont know if he had invested before this announcement or totally a new thing on which he did jump on to this market which is really a good news that big and popular people had already recognized
its existence.

Sooner or later we would really be seeing CEO's and other billionaires out there would surely make out investment but for sure there are people who did really make out such
step but didnt tend to announce in public.

We do really need these kind of consideration to make adoption even more wider and bigger which would really result into high price increase.

[Abiky]

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.

Who knows if Tim Cook invested in cryptocurrency way before it became mainstream? It would be a great idea for his company (Apple) to integrate crypto into all of its devices. This would help boost mainstream adoption of Blockchain tech at a fast pace. I'd imagine Apple Pay allowing users to buy/sell crypto sometime in the future. If PayPal did it, I don't see why other payment processors can't do it. The more Bitcoin soars in price, the higher the chance of this becoming a reality will be. Let's hope Apple embraces crypto/Blockchain tech, for other companies (like Microsoft and Google) to join the game. Just my thoughts

The people are just waiting for some big names from different companies to invest in bitcoin or crypto and after that, there are bigger chances that they will start taking the path too so they can follow the footprints of those billionaires. I think crypto investment just needs more influenced people to attract massive adoption for crypto because once the regular investors will see to it that there's more on crypto that even big people in the world are investing, then who are they really not to grab such opportunities that will create big changes in their lives.

Well, of course these rich people would be glad to disclose there investment for the people to follow them and send the value to the moon. I know why they have mentioned that the company has no plans in accepting crypto, but they will soon and will probably send the value to even higher again.

This is just a classic example of rich getting even more richer and poor not necessarily became poorer but struggles a lot only to get a few profit.

[deadmousehat]

I think he has been in the cryptocurrency world for a long time or not someone completely new in cryptocurrency and and now showing it off. this is very good news to raise the price of cryptocurrencies. no plans yet does not mean apple is not considering accepting cryptocurrencies.

[OgNasty]

Apple getting into crypto seems a little bit inevitable at this point. I’m just curious how they will implement it in their wallet app. If they implemented a decent lightning experience it could be enough to get me to give it a shot. Even announcing accepting it for their phones and computers would be pretty massive news. I think Tim Cook would likely wait at least a quarter after announcing his investment before doing implementing something like that.

[Finestream]

I think he has been in the cryptocurrency world for a long time or not someone completely new in cryptocurrency and and now showing it off. this is very good news to raise the price of cryptocurrencies. no plans yet does not mean apple is not considering accepting cryptocurrencies.

It would be unlikely if whatever he does, he'll keep announcing it to the public. So maybe he has been in crypto for a long time but its only now that he had the guts to make it publicized. And with that, he'd been making millions of profits already. With this positive news, i think this will gonna boost the interest of the people to try investing into crypto too as this has become the most promising source of profits nowadays. It will not be surprising that maybe one day Apple too will start to accept crypto as a payment method. Because whether we like it or not, crypto will conquer those big institutions in the near future.

I really don't care how well known he is, I don't know who he is and I have to tell you most of the world who doesn't go on Western social media or even can afford to buy Apple knows who he is.

Show me the impact he made on Bitcoin market. We're in the middle of a dip right now, is that because of him?

Wake up people, this type of news is called hype. Nice to have but not important as everyone says it is.

If Tim Cook can invest in crypto before crypto becomes mainstream, that will be good for him as he has the investment that will grow from time to time. Someday, Apple Pay will integrate their system using crypto to buy and sell, which will boost the crypto popularity among Apple users. With the growth of crypto from time to time, sooner or later, the big companies such as Microsoft, Google, Yahoo can integrate it into blockchain and once they can do that, they will create their own token for their members.

[AakZaki]

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.

but there is also a lot of speculation growing about the list of companies starting to adopt crypto, but in fact the news is not really real.
many expect cryptocurrency to be adopted by big companies which will then increase the price of crypto. Becoming a legal alternative payment may still be difficult for some countries, but in El Salvador bitcoin has become a legal alternative payment.
We'll just have to wait and see how cryptocurrencies develop in the future.

Big news goes quite a bit too far I would say.  I would rather see it the other way around: if people who know so much about technology completely deny investing in cryptocurrencies or avoid the sector as a whole are either pursuing a hidden agenda (like Bill Gates who is a puppet of Berkshire Heathaway) or are completely stupid. If the CEO of the biggest tech company in the world can't see any potential in cryptocurrencies, well, haha, what to say then? So from that perspective I wouldn't call this big news. It was more than expected I think.

[MinoRaiola]

Tim Cook is one of many. The important thing is that he said it publicly and that many are now looking at it. It happens like a fan who wants to do the same as the star. One more in the Bitcoin world who has understood it. So intern at Apple they are talking about Bitcoin, private or business.

Rich people will tend to become richer because they know where to put their money, and crypto is certainly a right investment for them. While poor people tend to struggle more because they are driven more on fear rather than take the risk and gain huge profits.

However, Tim Cook is certain with his investment in crypto and its all for diversification of his portfolio. Apple has not plans yet to accept or adopt crypto for now, but maybe in the future when all big companies are already into crypto, Apple will soon to accept crypto too.
