What would happen if Bill Gates invested all of his money in Bitcoin?

First, it would be extremely dumb of Gates to do this. Why? Because at any time, the community could realize this and fork the chain and take the utility of the blockchain with it to a different iteration of Bitcoin, leaving Gates with a worthless bunch of nothing.

If Gates’ (or any wealthy person’s) plan was to control Bitcoin, they’d use immense wealth to buy or rent computing power to launch 51% attacks against the chain.

The only problem when controlling 51% of the bitcoin capacity is that when people realize that someone is doing it(and they will realize if you are manipulating transactions) the price will drop so bad that even if you steal all the available bitcoins, their will worth less than 10 times than what those 51% valued.

The only value bitcoin or any other coin is holding, is just trust. I was going to write a post exactly about this.

And most of us will have millions

How?

To simple more investment price will go up and if you have some BTC then example 1 BTC=100k 10BTC =1M

BOOM Btc would have 1 Trillion market capacity
