Wall Street Titan Misses $7 Billion Bitcoin Windfall, Plus Ripple and XRP, Tron, Ethereum, Cardano, IOTA, VeChain: Crypto News Flash

by Daily Hodl Staff
January 5, 2019
in Altcoins

From the profit potential of Bitcoin and Apple, to a surprise Ethereum upgrade, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.

Bitcoin

Anthony Pompliano, the founder of crypto investment firm Morgan Creek Digital, says Warren Buffett should have bought Bitcoin instead of Apple.

The recent plunge in Apple’s stock price has cost Buffett nearly $4 billion in profit. Long term, however, his $1 billion investment in the tech giant back in 2016 is now worth $1.4 billion — a substantial gain. But, if Buffett had invested in Bitcoin instead, the $1 billion investment would be worth a whopping $8.7 billion.

Buffett, an outspoken critic of cryptocurrency, said Bitcoin is “probably rat poison squared“ in May of last year.

Warren Buffett spent just over $1 Billion to buy 9.8 million shares of Apple in Q1 2016. Today that stake is worth ~$1.4 Billion.

If he had taken the money and bought Bitcoin instead, he would have $8.7 billion.

Maybe Mr. Buffett should start buying some rat poison ?

Ethereum

Ethereum developers say they’re close to launching a new algorithm that would stop specialized ASIC mining hardware  from working on the platform.

The code is now being implemented for testing, according to a report from CoinDesk.

ASIC hardware is blamed for placing crypto mining in the hands of a few large corporations and circumventing the decentralized nature of blockchain.

Ripple and XRP

Ripple just gave a group of Wharton undergrads an inside look at crypto and blockchain technology.

Ripple says it talked about its suite of payment platforms and the digital asset XRP during a live presentation at the company’s headquarters in San Francisco.
