CZ, who first purchased Bitcoin back in 2014, recalled how it took the leading cryptocurrency three years to reach a record high. “We were excited. Now, that is…

Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, is now among the wealthiest individuals — or group of individuals — on the planet, without ever moving a single dollar of their fortune or revealing any identifying details about themselves. With BTC climbing above $122,000 on Monday, Satoshi’s estimated 1.1 million coins are worth over $134 billion, according to public blockchain data. That would place them just outside the global top 10 richest people, ahead of names like Dell Computers CEO Michael Dell and Walmart heir Rob Walton, and inching closer to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and legendary investor Warren Buffett according to…
