Chamath Palihapitiya

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya is perhaps the most vehement supporter of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. In 2013, the former Facebook executive, who is also an owner and board member of the Golden State Warriors, revealed that he owned $5 million worth of Bitcoins, and said that he wanted to invest a further $10 million to $15 million in the Bitcoin industry. That same year, Chamath wrote an article for Bloomberg titled “Why I Invested in Bitcoin”, making a long case for the cryptocurrency and criticizing the conventional banking system. In June, Chamath replugged this article on his Twitter page and said that he is now “convinced” that Bitcoin’s value will exceed that of gold. Chamath believes that Bitcoin provides a way to bypass the monopoly held by major banks and financial institutions, which he thinks are running an “autocracy.”
