Many people are fascinated
by the Cryptocurrency craze, while others are baffled by the process of
investing. Although it was already well-known in the west, Indians have
recently expressed an interest in it. Many people have success stories about
how they made a lot of money by investing in blockchain technology. Previously,
Amitabh Bachchan invested Rs 1.6 crore and turned it into Rs 112 crore in just
one year.
It is a decentralised digital currency that may be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for middlemen, without the requirement for a central bank or single administrator. According to reports, it was created in 2008 by an unknown person or group of persons who went by the name Satoshi Nakamoto.

According to the Economic
Times, Amitabh Bachchan and his actor/son Abhishek Bachchan invested around
$250,000 (Rs 1.6 Crore) in Meridian Tech Pte, a Singapore-based company founded
by Venkata Srinivas Meenavalli, in 2015. Within two and a half years, the
father-son team amassed a fortune of $17.5 million (Rs 112 crore).
Meridian Tech's primary
asset, Ziddu.com, was reportedly acquired by another Venkata Srinivas
Meenavalli-backed company, LongFin Corp. When Ziddu was acquired, Amitabh
Bachchan's investment in Meridian Tech was rewarded with 250,000 shares of
LongFin.
According to their
website, Ziddu is "a blockchain research company developing decentralized
applications for micro-lending and warehouse financing." "The Ziddu
Warehouse Coin is based on the Ethereum ERC20 token standard."
Bachchan's other two
investments, according to Firstpost, also provided him with massive returns. In
2013, his astute investor instincts earned him a 10,190% return on his
investment in JustDial; he earned Rs 7 crore in just four months from a Rs 6.27
lakh investment. He had purchased 62,794 shares of JustDial at the time.
On the work front, Amitabh
Bachchan currently has some interesting projects in the pipeline, which include,
Runway 34, Brahmastra, Jhund, Goodbye, and The Intern.
