If you have some knowledge about Cryptocurrency then you must be knowing or hearing that prices of crypto currencies are skyrocketing. Many people benefited and made millions from buying these coins while other regretted of not buying it.
Let's move aside to the main topic and talk about people who actually created these cryto currencies and after their value increased are now among the richest people in the world.
Chris Larsen
He is the co-founder of the currency Ripple (XRP) and owns 5.19 billion Ripple's (XRP) coins which is now worth a massive $59.9 billion which makes him worth richer than "Google" founders Larry Page and Sergery Brin.
Currently he is 5th on the richest people list and looks like will surpass Mark Zuckerberg also if Ripple (XRP) will continue to rise in its value.
He is holder of 17 percent stake in Ripple (XRP) and as of now is valued at $235.4 billion.
Vitalik Buterin
He is the co-founder of the currency Ethereum (ETH) and unlike other cryptocurrencies it is platform where decentralized transactions are carried through blockchain.
In 2016 he had owned 630,000 Ethereum (ETH) but had later sold 25% of it but is still a multimillionaire.
One Ethereum (ETH) coin is now worth around $1000 so that makes him one of the richest people on earth too.
how do you think or your prediction about bitcoin price in 2018 whether it will be increasing or going down.
I just want to survey some people's opinions
I would say easily 20k by the end of the year. Probably will end around 22k or so
uciha... Definitely will increase and would say easily touch 22k, so will the other coins increase too.
Wow. Such an inspiration to all of us.. Soon we will be like them. Hope so. 😊 If we pursue and not give up.
What about the founder of bitcoin? At the current price, bitcoin's anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, would have been worth $19.4 billion, or the 44th richest person in the world, according to the Forbes rich list. Satoshi Nakamoto's net worth would be derived from the 980,000 bitcoins he, she, or they are estimated to own.
No one knows who is behind Bitcoin creator but he must be filthy rich. For crypto currencies we know who the owners are so analysts can calculate their net worth.
