Who is the richest in the world?

Hey #Moni Maker ✋

Today, in 2018 SpaceX's Falcon Heavy, a super heavy launch vehicle, made its maiden flight.. Elon is super cool! He has already launched the Tesla Roadster into space and DOGE to the moon. In general, if we need to send something far away, we all know who to turn to. But in the meantime, we should check out who mooned in the cryptocurrency universe today.

Let’s go!

Forbes compileda list of the wealthiest representatives of the crypto industry in 2020.

The list is headed by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong with $6.5 billion, followed by FTX chairman Sam Bankman-Fried with $4.5 billion (though he estimates his fortune at $10 billion) and Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen with $2.9 billion.

In calculations, the magazine took into account not only the value of digital assets, but also stakes in companies related to the figures and traditional assets.

Further down in the ranking are:

- MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor - $2 billion;

- Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao - $1.9 billion;

- Gemini's founders, the Winklevoss brothers, $1.6 billion each;

- Digital Currency Group founder Barry Silbert - $1.5 billion;

- Ripple co-founder and former CTO Jed McCaleb - $1.4 billion;

- Investor Tim Draper - $1.1 billion;

- Bloq co-founder Matthew Roszak - $1 billion.

So what?

Some kids from the streets are making a name for themselves, great:)

How nice to watch the success of our colleagues in the industry! The influence of crypto boys is growing like the price of bitcoin.

On Monday at 23:00 UTS the acceptance of applications for a new Portfolios’ Battle will be closed.

As a reminder, the guys from community Thorchain decided to challenge crypto and bet their money that no one can outpace the growth of the RUNE token in 3 months. We'll see ;)

P.S.: The prizes are growing!

Back in 2018, Tether opened a $900 million line of credit for Bitfinex, of which $750 million was used by the exchange.

That loan is at the heart of an ongoing legal dispute with the New York Attorney General. Bitfinex told The Block that the payment was made to Tether in January, and the line of credit is now closed.

So what?

Bitfinex, soon you will dive into the Mt.Gox list. "When these f*cking cases will be closed.".

If the guys lose the lawsuit, it will have a huge impact on the market and the crypto community as a whole.
