Mexico’s third richest man, Ricardo Salinas, said in discussions with the directors of Blockchain Land that 10% of his assets are Bitcoin. He stated that all the advantages of Bitcoin make it eligible to be a modern form of gold, which is easy to carry and enjoys high liquidity internationally. Most importantly, the supply of Bitcoin is limited. In addition, he is not optimistic about altcoins and believes that altcoins do not have the potential to surpass Bitcoin

Well we can call him whale or something, but what's important is that some of the wealthiest are really into bitcoin because they know what the technology brings and of course it can give them a lot of money in the future. It's also part of diversifying their assets, and we all know that bitcoin is one of the best assets right now, hence 10% of his wealth on it. And there could really be more millionaires outside of the US that has huge investments on bitcoin but just remain to be quiet for now.

that is true, i believe some of these whales are just silent about their bitcoin holdings. some are avoiding the taxes attached to it and some want to diversify their portfolio and add crypto in their wealth. but if more and more rich persons are going to disclose their crypto involvement, some people may be encouraged to check, invest or use crypto. and that is good for adoption.
now, we are seeing that these people are starting to trust crypto or believe that crypto has future.
