When has this list been made? Because a few weeks ago when Ripple had peaked the news came out that Ripple's boss had become briefly more rich than Bill Gates - so I guess he would have been quite on top of this list. But things change very fast in cryptos...

Wow, I have no idea how it becomes possible. But, on the other hand, everybody who is doing something different, have chance to become rich. In future we will see new and new names in this list, and I won't surprise.

Theres a lot people in the world who doesnt want to be listed on the top bitcoin holders because they knew that it could be the reason why would they get kidnapped or threatened,that is why they prefer not to speak and but probably these people got their bitcoins by lack,because no one from the past would hold bitcoin's intentionally,most of them did hold their bitcoin's  accidentally.

Those people are talented businessmen, what else i can say. We know these names, but there are lots of names of people who became as rich in crypto and whose names we will never know. They may even be standing in shade behind those media names from the Forbes list.

I think that the list is not quite complete. This is money that lies on the surface. But how much each of them has in cold wallets is not known to anyone. I also agree with BillCoin, who wrote above. Most of the whales are anonymous. Nobody knows them, no one knows about the origin of finance (initial investment). On the other hand. That's cool. I'm happy for these smart people. They did not steal them, but earned by their intellect.

These people were just lucky, they appeared on time in the right place at the right time! this is called a confluence of circumstances


Let me disagree with you. I think that these people thought in the right direction and at the right moment made the necessary conclusions. And they risked and believed in crypto-currencies at a time when none of us believed in them yet.

In any financial market, wealthy people can always decide and manipulate a variety of assets at their disposal. These people often have a lot of experience in different financial markets and when they approach a new financial market they will know how to multiply the amount of money they invest in.

Lucky guys . They invest in crypto at early stages and now receiving their dividend . Early supporters always get more profit , because of higher risks . They deserve it .

I think the world's most powerful crypto in the market is a person who has a coin and has money.
Because they are very easy to ascend and lower the coin in the market

You will find people them in every new industry.

They were smart enough to invest in crypto in the beginning of the age and luckily enough to have the resources to do it.

Quite lucky I must say. I keep on envying my mate who took up the opportunity of investing in bitcoin when it first started out. A lot of them who did are now what I can call 'financially stable.' The painful thing is that, I knew about bitcoin at it earlier stage just like them but procrastination made me invest late and at the same time lose out. Well, its their luck, congrates to them.

Forbes has published a ranking of people who have made a fortune in the cryptocurrency. This is the first in the history of the publication, regularly telling the public about different categories of rich people, a list of this kind. In this case, only the approximate size of the States is specified, given the high volatility of the cryptocurrency rate. Is the cover of the new magazine.

The rating includes 19 people.

The honorary first place went to the head of Ripple Chris Larsen ($ 7.5-8 billion).

Number two-Joseph Lubin, CEO of the blockchain company Consensus and co-founder of Ethereum ($1-5 billion).

In third place, Chanpen Zhao, head of the exchange Binance (us$1.1-2 billion).

Fourth place was shared by brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, co — founders of Winklevoss Capital ($900 million - $1.1 billion each).

In fifth place individual investor Matthew Mellon ($900 million — $1 billion).

Sixth place Forbes took Brian Armstrong, head of Coinbase ($900 million — $ 1 billion.).

Matthew Rosac, co — founder of BloQ and founder of Tally Capital ($900 million - $1 billion) is in seventh place.

The eighth place belongs to Anthony Di Iorio, co — founder of Ethereum, Jaxx and Decentral ($750 million - $1 billion).

In ninth place Brock pierce, Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation and a consultant to the Block.One ($700 million — $ 1 billion).

Tenth place is given to Mike Novogratz, the head of the Galaxy Digital ($700 million — $1 billion).

11-e the place was occupied by the head Block.One Brendan bloomer ($600-700 million).

Dan Larimer, chief Block technology specialist, is in 12th place.One. His fortune Forbes believes is approximately equal to the state of his boss ($600-700 million).

13th place went to a native of Latvia and a resident of Kiev Valery Vavilov, head of Bitfury ($500-700 million).

Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IOHK and co-founder of Ethereum ($500-600 million) took 14th place.

The 15th place is occupied by the head of Ripple brad Garlinghouse ($400-500 million).

On the 16th is the head of the Digital Currency Group (DCG) Barry Silbert ($400-500 million.).

The Creator of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin got an honorary 17th place. However, hardly the vital goal of Buterin is to take a place in the list of cryptocurrency rich. Forbes estimated his fortune at $ 400-500 million.

Anyone follow them on twitter and able to gain some important info based on their tweets? I'm interested but not sure where to start or if it's even worth doing.

It's no surprise that chris larsen is first. I do not like central projects. I invest in decentralized projects.

I kicked myself many times for not doing X or Y at a certain time on the cryptomarket. Yes, it's all hindsight and it is nigh impossible to call the bottoms and peaks on the cryptomarket, but still. Was planning to buy roughly 100 Ethereum in january 2016 but eventually noped out as I thought it wouldn't get traction on the market. Considered to buy $50 worth of XVG (Verge) in january 2017 but forgot about the thing after that ... until I saw its baffling surge in the final months of that year. I could have had the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of USD at this point and it bothered me somewhat for a while, but now my skin has grown thicker in that regard in the sense that I don't care that much about these facts anymore. And indeed, there are still probably oppertunities ahead to make a decent amount of profit on the market. Not selling your crypto seems to be the key!

I think this is normal situation. They believed in blockchain and their projects when nobody did. They supported them when nobody supported. When there was cryptocurrency pump, they have increased their capital over many times.

But numbers don't show us whole situation: they support another blockchain projects, invest in ICO and do everything for blockchain revolution. And this is the main!

If only I hadn't spent much of 2010 drinking Absolut and fucking around on YouTube!   Oligarchy was not in the cards for me, but these guys (all guys) are fortunate, and props to them.  I agree with the above person that we shouldn't count other people's money and be envious.   And I'm not.   

And you have to think that there's still potential to get rich off of crypto--if you believe that bitcoin is headed to $100,000, then that's just under a 10x gain from where it is now.  That's not too shabby.   I'm not confident that it's going that high anytime soon and therefore I'm not going all in. 

You also could have made a ton of money if you'd bought bitcoin in 2015--think about that.  Not as much as these guys did, but certainly enough to brag about.

Lucky people definitely. But, why count other people's money. It is necessary to think how to earn their own. Otherwise, with envy, you can do something that is not good with yourself. Accidentally hit finished on the wall, fall out of the window, etc.

I think it's not just luck. They invest not in one bitcoin but saw the prospects of cryptocurrency in that time when most of people didn't know this word. So you should be smart and enterprising that to be a rich.
