Forbes magazine published a rating of billionaires, which multiplied their capital due to virtual currency. Americans are in the lead on this list. On the first line is co-founder of the third most popular cryptocurrency Ripple, former CEO of Chris Larsen with a fortune of 7.5-8 billion dollars. The volume of Ripple's capitalization reaches $ 29 billion. In the monitoring, Forbes experts analyze Larsen's own cryptocurrency state with a 17% stake in Ripple.

In five years, the use of state currencies will come to naught, since they will be replaced by crypto-currencies. This is considered by the venture investor Tim Draper, who has large amounts in cryptocurrencies. At the Internet summit in Portugal, Draper spoke with Forbes, during the conversation he expressed his opinion about the future of the cryptocurrency market: "In five years, if you try to use fiat currency they will laugh at you. Bitcoin and other cryptocurriences will be so relevant … there will be no reason to have the fiat currencies. "
