This is huge. Li Ka-Shing has put money into Bakkt.

I know the recent dump is further testing people's patience, but at least us BTC hodlers are in good company.

If they achieved to get attention of institutional funds or billioners, it would be very good for all of us in long term and crypto-market is really need to fresh investors. Even though people who have an huge amount money directly invest in crypto-market, they are investing a company which wants to have a good place in crypto-market. Everybody is sure about that it will going to be a manipulator but this kind of companies have enough fund to make crypto-prices more stable.

I wonder why you said that. Isn't more money will a project to move much faster? I thought this was a good thing.

well crypto damaged something i would describe as trustbased humanist nimbus of the central banks,

with bitcoin and crypto in existance, these "billionaires" just look like old fashioned communist to everyone.

I think this is good news for the entire cryptocurrency market. Investing in Bakkt will speed up its launch and the entry of new institutional funds into the market.

According to Forbes magazine, Li Ka-Shing is the 23rd richest man in the world today. For the past ten years, Li Ka-Shing has invested in several technology startups in various industries. In particular, this is not the first time he has invested in a company that deals with blockchain and cryptocurrency. Back in 2013, he invested in bitcoin payment processing software called BitPay. In 2016, he invested thousands of dollars in blockchain technology service provider, Blockstream.

Right. Li Ka-Shing is a seasoned businessman even when bitcoin is experiencing a decline many investment companies take this opportunity to buy bitcoin. It seems that this is what Li Ka-Shing has done to print more money, especially since the Bakkt platform has many credible investment institutions, this will make new traders enter and trade bitcoin.

Some people inherently distrust rich people because they feel like all these guys do is to profit off the regular people. Not saying the person you quoted is one of them, of course, but it definitely seems like he doesn't trust rich people.

It is a good thing, as more exchanges result in a stronger ecosystem where customers choose the best service for their business.

The billionaire and some big time establishment has started to take huge interest in cryptocurrency despite the market being very bad this would at the long run be like a boost for cryptocurrency.

It is a good thing as long as he holds his position. We need rich holders as we need poor ones. The only danger is he may create an enormous sell pressure if he decides to leave crypto. As long as he believes in crypto there is nothing to worry about.

I think the news is that the man invested money on the company. Doesn't say he actually bought and hold, but we cannot remove the possibility that he got some on his hands.

They always say, follow the smart money and Li Ka-Shing was the 23rd richest person in the world in 2018. Tongue

Li Ka-shing is revered as one of the most influential businessmen in Asia and a lot of people are looking at him as an example of success and entrepreneurship.

The Asian markets are also level headed and open-minded towards Crypto currencies, so I would rather prefer a Crypto currency role-model like Li Ka-Shing, than someone like Warren Buffet. Tongue

I am sure this is really a good sign, such people don't invest money without 100 % assurance, that they can make a profit on it.

Does this mean that the STO model will soon become popular and replace the current ICO? If Bakkt is a legitimate exchange, the tokens listed on Bakkt should also comply with all legal requirements, which requires a token of STO.

Li Ka-Shing must have really research into the benefits of investing such a huge amount of money into bakkt I am sure he does that so as to recoup and profits from his investment in a long run while his investment is not to buy crytopcurrencies but to support the platform in other areas.

Billionaires don’t tend to be stupid with their money & make many bad investments to be honest man.

Its good to know that events like this happens despite of loss of investors due to the bearish market. I hope many institution like this see the beauty of cryprocurrency and use it as it id and not just an investment scheme. This news will also help investors to gain their trust about cryprocurrency.
