Tesla founder Elon Musk has a significant influence in the field of technology. He is also the founder, CEO and investor of many companies, such as SpaceX, Neuralink, X... and so on.
According to Forbes' real-time billionaire list, Musk topped the title of "world's richest man" with assets of US$210.3 billion, followed by LVMN founder Bernard Arnault, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, ranking 2nd to 4th with assets of US$201.9 billion, US$194.5 billion and US$163.8 billion respectively.
At the same time, with the promising prospects of the cryptocurrency market, the wealth of Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto is also rising. Whether he can surpass Musk to become the world's richest man in the future has also become an interesting topic in the crypto community.
Bitcoin's 280% rise would make Satoshi Nakamoto the world's richest man
We know that Satoshi Nakamoto mined a large amount of BTC during the creation of the Bitcoin network. The 22,000 addresses associated with him hold approximately 1.1 million BTC, with a current total value of approximately US$75.1 billion.
If Musk's assets remain unchanged, how much would Bitcoin need to rise to in order for Satoshi Nakamoto to become the richest man? The answer is: $191,000, which means that Bitcoin needs to increase by 280% from its current price.
According to current data, Satoshi Nakamoto's assets are still a long way from Musk's, but this day may not be far from our expectations.
There is no Satoshi Nakamoto on the wealth list
If ranked according to Forbes' real-time billionaire list, Satoshi Nakamoto holds Bitcoin worth $75.1 billion, ranking 22nd on the wealth list, between Walmart heiress Alice Walton and Reuters chairman David Thomson.
However, mainstream media such as Forbes did not include Satoshi Nakamoto in the list. The reason may be that Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity is unknown and he has not been active online for many years.
However, if one day the assets held by Satoshi Nakamoto really make him the world's richest man, it would mean that Bitcoin and even the entire cryptocurrency and blockchain are more accepted by the current world.
In the crypto industry, if you want to seize the next bull market opportunity, you need to have a high-quality circle so that everyone can stick together and maintain insight. If you are alone, looking around and finding no one, it is actually very difficult to persist in this industry.
