More tech giants to get into crypto

Cameron believes many big tech giants will try to deploy their own digital currencies in future. Aside from Facebook, he expects Amazon, Apple, Google and Netflix to foray into crypto in the near future.

“I think that internet companies have to have a crypto strategy, and I think a lot of them are thinking about their own coin projects. They’re probably watching Libra and Facebook to see how that fares as they develop it,” he told CNN..

The twins reportedly made a risky bet on Bitcoin (BTC) and it seems like it paid off. Initially, they bought 200,000 coins at around $7 – $8. “When Bitcoin price reached nearly $20,000 they had approximately $4 billion.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $10,650 a coin, according to CoinMarketCap. The currency is still well off its high of $20,000 at the end of 2017.
