Vratislav Holub Cryptocurrencies have been with us for some time now, and their popularity seems to be steadily increasing. Crypto itself offers a lot of possibilities. It is not just a virtual currency, but at the same time it is an investment opportunity and a form of entertainment. Unfortunately, the cryptocurrency world has now experienced a huge slump. But maybe another time. On the contrary, let's look at some famous personalities who believe in the crypt and with a high probability have a considerable amount of money in it.

Flying around the world with Apple Elon Musk
Who else should open this list but Elon Musk himself. This tech visionary, the founder of Tesla, SpaceX and the man behind the PayPal payment service, is known in the community for causing several cryptocurrency price swings. It's quite interesting that a single tweet from Musk is often enough and the price of Bitcoin can plummet. At the same time, in the past, the news that Tesla bought around 42 thousand Bitcoins flew through the world of cryptocurrencies. At the time, this amount was worth around $2,48 billion.
Elon Musk
Precisely based on this, it can be concluded that Musk sees a certain potential in cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin is probably the closest to him. Bottom line, based on this information, we can count on the fact that the founder of Tesla and SpaceX himself holds a considerable amount of crypto.
Jack Dorsey
The well-known Jack Dorsey, who incidentally heads the entire Twitter, is betting on a progressive approach to cryptocurrencies. He started promoting cryptocurrencies as early as 2017. But in 2018, Bitcoin faced a difficult period and people began to seriously question their investments, and thus the entire world of crypto. At the moment, however, it was Dorsey who made himself heard, according to whom Bitcoin is the future in terms of global currency. A year later, he even announced that he would invest several thousand dollars a week in the purchase of the mentioned Bitcoin.
Mike Tyson
If you are not very interested in the world of cryptocurrencies, that is, you only watch it from afar, you probably would not even expect that the world-famous boxer and icon of this sport, Mike Tyson, has believed in Bitcoin since the days when most of the world did not even know what it was. Tyson has been investing in cryptocurrencies for some time now, even introducing his own "Bitcoin ATM" in 2015 with the design of his iconic face tattoo. However, this boxing icon does not stop at the crypt and ventures into the world of NFTs. Last year, he unveiled his own collection of so-called NFTs (non-fungible tokens), which sold out in less than an hour. Some images were even worth around 5 Ethereum, which today would amount to over 238 thousand crowns - at that time, however, the value of Ethereum was significantly higher.

Jamie Dimon
Of course, not everyone is a fan of this phenomenon. Notable opponents include banker and billionaire Jamie Dimon, who is also the CEO of one of the world's most important investment banks, JPMorgan Chase. He has been an opponent of Bitcoin since 2015, when he firmly believed that cryptocurrencies would disappear relatively soon. But that didn't happen, and that's why Dimon openly called Bitcoin a fraud in 2017, when he also added that if any bank employee traded in Bitcoins, he would be fired immediately.
His story is slightly ironic in the finale. Although Jamie Dimon appears to be a nice man at first glance, Americans may know him mainly thanks to his anti-Bitcoin billboards. On the other hand, the JPMorgan bank even "in the interest of clients" bought cryptocurrencies for a cheap amount, as their amount was influenced by the CEO's statements, thanks to which this world-famous firm was accused by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) of money laundering. In 2019, the bank even launched its own cryptocurrency called JPM Coin.
Warren Buffet
The world-famous investor Warren Buffet shares a similar opinion as the above-mentioned Jamie Dimon. He spoke quite clearly about cryptocurrencies, and in his opinion it will not have a happy ending. To make matters worse, in 2019 he added that Bitcoin in particular creates a certain disillusionment, which makes it pure gambling. He is primarily bothered by several points. Bitcoin itself does nothing, unlike the shares of companies that stand behind something, and at the same time it is a tool for all kinds of fraud and illegal activities. From this point of view, Buffet is definitely right.
