The purpose of publishing the list, according to Forbes Editor Randall Lane, is to provide an overview of the important moments. This action is part of the elimination of the notion that digital currencies are often characterized by drug trafficking and activities, it can be a legal asset.
Compiling this list has its own difficulties when compared to calculating the assets of conventional billionaires that are relatively easier to calculate the exact amount. Digital currencies that have decentralized and encrypted properties differ from conventional financial systems.
List of the richest people in the world of digital money based on Forbes, divided into five categories. "Idealists, builders, opportunists, infrastructure players and founding investors." To get on this list, it must have at least 350 million dollars.
List by numbers collected, the net worth of the people who enter it. In order to calculate the amount of its wealth, it is necessary to calculate or estimate the total amount of digital money holdings, taxes after trading, and shares in businesses related to digital currency.
Forbes knew very well that maybe they would miss some people to get on the list due to a less accurate calculation.
