Why is it big news that a man you didn't even know his name until today invested in cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin is not mentioned anywhere? A man may have invested a few hundred or a thousand $ in some altcoin, and some call it great news, completely ridiculous from my perspective.
I get your line of thought, but then Mr Cook isn't an unknown entity as such. We can conveniently say though that he isn't a force to reckon with in the crypto space. Of course, he isn't. But who knows, people and interest do change. Maybe he's at this point realizing the need for the switch. Quite understandably, the paradigm shift is a gradual process for a lot of these old folks. And like you jocularly talked about him bringing Warren Buffet over, there's a possibility to that; I should think 🤔. After all, birds of a feather flock together. If they continue to stay out and away from Bitcoin, it's their loss. Just the same way it's for China.

I think people of his calibre are mostly thoughtful about what they convey to the public. Not everyone is like Elon Musk tweeting all day long what they think about Bitcoin. I can very well imagine that Tim Cook has been holding cryptocurrencies for quite a while, but would he necessarily decide very early on to make it public? I would rather not I guess, if I were him. Maybe he is trading cryptos like crazy, but would he make that information public? I really doubt it. By now he knows for certain that cryptos are here to stay and before politicians might decide for some moves against the digital revolution that he (now) has a stake in, he rather decides to raise his voice and let everyone know he has skin in the game.

Really difficult to tell whether he just recently bought cryptos or whether he is in it since 2012.

I think that's great news, meaning that more and more people in different countries are interested in cryptocurrencies, such as the CEO of Apple. With his personal point of view, he wants to create his own portfolio so that opportunities for success in the crypto business will open. I think this will be an example for people out there who want to grow their portfolio, I'm sure if there are many people who are interested in crypto world but they don't have a chance to do business here but sooner or later I think they will join.

Glad he did it publicly, that is a good incentive for another tech enthusiasts to also invest in bitcoin. It would be very nice if another big entrepreneurs and businessmen were also transparent about their interest and investments in bitcoin, just like Tim Cook. I bet the key players of business world are all bitcoin adopters, although they keep this fact hidden from the media and from anyone else who could leak this information.
Would really be an eye opener to other CEOs out there or even other people who might get curious and might get interested with Bitcoin or simply on blockchain technology on bigger scale which is always been a good news.

Doesnt really matter if he invested small or what because whats important on here is the exposure that he had done or gave out on this market where it would really help out in terms of adoption
which is already good.

For now lets wait for others to join the bandwagon and would see on how this market moves.

That's right, small or big but this is an influential person, the news would entice people to invest since they'll think that if a CEO of Apple which is a big tech company invested in crypto, then most likely crypto is a real deal, and that would result to buying which what we need for adoption.

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.

Source : The Verge

It's always great news for Bitcoin when we hear of these multi billionaires having enough faith in crypto to start diversifying into it. These people are also the ultimate level of collector - they have massive streams of income, far more than they spend, coming in every day. That means that they'll be constantly buying more and it doesn't even make a dent in their wealth. At this level it will also become a kind of measuring contest, where they can afford to buy thousands of Bitcoins if it means extra bragging rights within their circle of elite friends. Even better when they announce it to the world instead of just slowly accumulating it and keeping the secret behind closed doors.

So many people with technical expertise are investing in crypto. That shows the future potential of bitcoin and crypto in general.

I think still there is lot of scope for investors and users of bitcoin. It may completely replace banks on future and this the whole economy will rely on crypto technology.

this will be a very interesting thing, especially for the survival of bitcoin

Lol, they are investing in Bitcoin, that's why Bitcoin gains survivability!!
They are investing in Bitcoin because they don't want to miss the opportunity of taking an instant profit. After 12 long years of Bitcoin, they are now realizing that they have no choice but to adopt this technology. Bitcoin reached 19k ATH in 2017 without any kind of such influence, and now that Bitcoin has successfully stabilized at $50k-$60K it is only natural that investors will rush to buy it.

Wait , in what occasion that you have been considered as criminal ? does your country prohibit you from owning Bitcoin?
i mean it is illegal in your country? if not then how could this be?

and security officer investing in bitcoin meaning this is not illegal in that region so why did it happen?

this has actually happened a few years ago, at that time there was much fud circulating around my country that bitcoin was created for illegal transactions such as drugs and others and only criminals own and use it so i became a victim of slander like this because it shows the bitcoins that i have to the neighbors.

overtime and lots of positive news about bitcoin (thanks to the crypto community everywhere) such fud is slowly disappearing and many people are trying to find information about bitcoin investment.  even the government of my country has started to open up with crypto.

As anticipated, more and more CEOs of giant companies and wealthy private individuals are already indulging about crypto. I mean, even before crypto became quite famous as these days, they have invested already in secret manner. It's not that they will brag publicly that they've invested on it, and others are silently joing the movement while others are using their fame to slightly control the value, I guess you know that already  Grin
Even before the massive bull run reaching the latest ath there were more investment and interest over cryptocurrency on the whole. Most of the technology associated company CEO's surely hold cryptocurrency. For some reason this has been kept confidential. Most of the time these CEO's never talk about it. Now for the first time Apple CEO have mentioned it and explained his view about cryptocurrencies.

Tim have revealed it to the world, because he had understood the success and experience of being into cryptocurrency. If he had revealed it earlier and if the bitcoin network have collapsed then it would've been a big flaw for his name and firm. Thats the reason why he took the right moment and mentioned everything.

this will be a very interesting thing, especially for the survival of bitcoin considering the cook team is the largest of a company whose products are well known in various foreign countries if this is really realized with his desire to invest in the crypto world it will automatically make bitcoin grow rapidly and we really hope that this is not just a discourse, hopefully it can be realized as soon as possible regarding the Apple CEO's investment in the crypto world

Everyone as the choice to decide whether they are going to invest in crypto or not and that does not stop the market from moving forward.
i think you are partially incorrect via this concept, because i could remember when bitcoin was not adopted fully across the nation and the price was extremely low compared to the current price now, so what triggers the acceleration of bitcoin price is due to people that ask for demand , so the more people is queueing up to bitcoin the more the price is moving forward. The acceleration of any cryptocurrencies is been determined by the totality of demands for it project.

I can see that many business men and women are now entering into the crypto market cause I think they find out that the crypto market is becoming a gold mine for crypto investors. Everyone is tasty for money so let them all go in.
While they are entering into bitcoin is because bitcoin as a currency has gone viral to the extent that every continent is aware of it, and it not longer a doubting or debating issue, and everyone is interested to invest because of it's good development. And as they are coming in, the More market structure is changing. Bitcoin has gone out of era of scam, their inquisitive to invest as i said before because bitcoin is nice investment for people that have endurance.

Some maybe keep it silent but those who are already known for their wealth do not have to make it a secret because we already know how wealthy they are, just like Elon Musk. Aside from that, announcing to the public that they have invested in crypto, will add more hype and we know how it would positively impact the market.

I am sure a lot of wealthy people invested in BTC years ago but didn’t publicly announce it, since back then BTC was looked at as currency for illegal underground activities.  Now after the narrative changed, people are more comfortable bragging about their crypto ownership.
I am glad, that you are not viewed like an outsider anymore if you own BTC.


i used to be considered a criminal for owning bitcoin and it really made me laugh.  bitcoin has become a very valuable asset even the security officers in my country have tried to invest in crypto, especially bitcoin because they are aware that the potential that exists in bitcoin is enormous.

We really hope that what is on this topic actually materializes where the one who made the investment is a CEO of a well-known company called Apple. digital currency and can indirectly increase the b coin to a more stable price as has happened a few years before, considering that the investment is Tim Cook, a CEO who holds an Apple company that is so well known to various countries
