Tim Draper is considered one of the first “institutional” investors in Bitcoin. He bought 42,000 BTC that he lost with the hack of MT. Gox hack. Then he purchased 30,000 BTC in a judicial auction related to the failure of the first major cryptocurrency exchange.
Today he is convinced that BTC can be worth $250,000 by early 2023. And this justifies his maxi investment.
If memory serves me well, I think someone warned me (maybe @pooya87) that Tim Draper had invested the same BTC in some project, because at the time their value was about $18 million, which is incomparable to what they are worth today. So while I have no doubt he has a certain amount of BTC today, I don’t think it’s even close to what he had before - and besides, he has publicly admitted to investing his money in dozens of other cryptocurrencies.
Tim Draper is just one of those we call permabulls, and a man who very passionately supports Bitcoin, but I don’t think he should be categorized as a crypto whale.
