By

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.

Recently, the popular Twitter handle Whale Alert reported two such incidents in which Bitcoins worth more than $750 million were transferred to an unknown wallet. According to a recent report, more than 20,000 Bitcoins were moved in two separate transactions of 10,000 BTC each. This is the second time in the last year that hackers have moved funds stolen from the Bitfinex hack in 2016. At the time, 119,756 BTC were stolen from the exchange, causing the market to crash. Last year when Bitcoin was trading at its all-time high in mid-April 2021, the hackers had moved the first batch of Bitcoins worth $750 million. Will This Affect the Price of Bitcoin? It will be interesting to see if this move adds to the volatility of the Bitcoin price. Nearly 20% of the total Bitcoin stolen has been moved by hackers. While most exchanges have made it impossible to cash out stolen exchanges, hackers...
