Israeli pension firm Altshuler Shaham doubles $ 100 million in Bitcoin investment
Israeli pension company Altshuler Shaham has invested $ 100 million in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), according to local newspaper Globes. Altshuler Shaham is one of Israel's largest investment companies with more than $ 50 billion in assets in long-term retirement savings.
According to the publication, the firm invested in the second half of last year, when Bitcoin was trading for about $ 21,000. The position has more than doubled since then. Altshuler Shaham is still the only Israeli company with such an amount in bitcoin.
“The investment of $ 100 million turned into $ 200 million, and of this $ 200 million we have already sold a third,” announced Gilad Altshuler, founder of Altshuler Shaham. - This is a new investment for us. It took us several months to get all the necessary permits. "
Altshuler admitted that in the future the company may add assets to its current position: “Everything will depend on the price. We were a little scared by the rate of rise of bitcoin to these levels, while its capitalization exceeded $ 1 trillion. "
Altshuler Shaham has already shown interest in the cryptocurrency space in the past. She reportedly supported several local initial coin offerings (ICOs) in 2017.
About 30% of all transactions in Ethereum are transfers of ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens. These are fungible and non-fungible crypto assets created on the network using smart contracts.

Artist who sold NFT painting for $ 69 million calls it a bubble
The non-fungible token (NFT) space is in a bubble. This was stated by the artist Mike Winkelmann, better known under the pseudonym Beeple. Beeple sold a collage of 5,000 of his works over the past 13 years via NFT this month at Christie’s auction for $ 69 million. Winkelmann's NFT became the third most expensive living artist in art history.
“To be honest, I definitely think this is a bubble. I draw an analogy with the beginning of the internet. There was a bubble. And that bubble burst, ”he told Fox News. “But he didn't destroy the internet. Accordingly, I think the technology is strong enough to survive this period. "
Winkelmann admitted that watching the auction end on March 11 was "very surreal." "The price jumped from $ 27 million to $ 50. It literally felt like a bomb had exploded in the room," he added.
The buyer was an investor under the pseudonym Metakovan, who later revealed his real name Vinnesh Sundaresan. In his own words, in this way he wanted to show that the cryptocurrency space empowers Indians with equal opportunities with Westerners.
“By Friday night this guy had my job and I had $ 55 million in my bank account. Like: boom, done, the next day, ”Beeple said.
Winkelmann is now putting his work "OCEAN FRONT" on sale as an NFT. The highest bid 16 and a half hours before the end of the auction is $ 1,555,555.55. The artist plans to donate the proceeds to charity, namely to help comply with the terms of the Paris Agreement to reduce the risks of climate change.
The investor told how he sent $ 568,000 in bitcoins to the fake Elon Musk
A fraudulent scheme to send cryptocurrency to a doubling address is thriving in the current bull market. The BBC's interlocutor, named in the publication Sebastian, told how he lost £ 407,000 ($ 568,000), believing in the proposal circulated on behalf of Elon Musk.
In February, when the real Musk once again tweeted about the Dogecoin cryptocurrency, the attackers posted their own link under his message. They continue to do the same now. “Below was a link to the event. I clicked and saw that he was distributing bitcoin! " Sebastian said.
The link was a professionally prepared page with a timer and a proposal to double the amount from 0.1 to 20 BTC for sending cryptocurrency to the specified address. After making sure that the link was posted from a verified account, Sebastian began to decide whether to send him 5 or 10 BTC: “Take the maximum, I thought, this is clearly true. So I sent 10 bitcoins. "
For the next 20 minutes, as the timer ran every 30 seconds, he refreshed the wallet in anticipation of the prize. Musk at this time posted another mysterious message, along with which Sebastian's confidence in the reality of what was happening strengthened. Only as the timer approached zero, it began to disappear.
“I realized that this is all a big deception. I rested my head on the sofa cushion, my heart beating hard. I thought I had just thrown away a critical amount for my family, money for early retirement and for all of my children's future holidays. I went upstairs and sat on the edge of the bed to tell my wife. I woke her up and said that I had made a big mistake, a really big mistake. "
Sebastian was not destined to fall asleep that night. For several hours, he emailed the fraudulent website and the fake Elon Musk on Twitter in an attempt to recover some or all of the money. Gradually humility came.
Record year
At 214 kilometers from Sebastian in Amsterdam, Whale Alert analysts watched as a few days later someone transferred and anonymously exchanged 10 stolen bitcoins. This was the largest amount for this type of fraud of all cases that they have seen. Analysts say they have been trying to get the authorities to take action against the fraudsters for several months to no avail.
The researchers reported that 2021 was a record year for the amount of losses from fake cryptocurrency distributors. In less than three months in 2021, $ 18 million was stolen against $ 16 million for the entire 2020. Last year, analysts counted 10,500 victims of fraud, and this year they have already accumulated 5,600.
Whale Alert founder Frank van Werth says this type of scam hasn't changed significantly since its inception in 2018, but has become more successful. “We have no data to explain this, but it could be related to the expansion of the bitcoin market. When the price of bitcoin rises, people go crazy. Many of them have recently joined and are excited about the get-rich-quick idea, ”he said.
Sebastian remarked that usually he “is not the main idiot in the world”: “I am savvy, I have a good job in marketing in the IT industry. I live with my wife and two children, we have a nice house with a garden. That night greed awakened in me and blinded me.
For the first time in 2017, he invested $ 40,000 in bitcoin and quickly recaptured the initial investment, and over the next years, he watched with excitement as the remaining 10 BTC rose in price to almost 500,000 euros. After the incident, the investor calls on the authorities and exchanges to actively fight cryptocurrency scammers: “It is too easy to steal bitcoins. All exchanges need to know their customers and that certain wallets belong to thieves. "
Sebastian's loss is almost five times greater than the damage caused to all participants in the fake cryptocurrency distribution during the massive Twitter hack last summer. Earlier this week, the organizer of this attack was sentenced to three years in prison.
At the end of last week in March, the bitcoin rate for the first time in history exceeded the level of $ 61,000. Against the background of reaching a new all-time high, bitcoin surpassed the combined capitalization of the three largest banks and the two most popular payment systems.
According to publicly available data, the market capitalization of the largest cryptocurrency at a rate of $ 61.7 thousand was approximately $ 1.15 trillion. The combined market capitalization of JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China combined totals $ 1.08 trillion.
But this is not the only achievement of Bitcoin. The capitalization of the two largest payment networks Visa and Mastercard is $ 871 billion - thus they are significantly outperformed by the most popular cryptocurrency.
After reaching a record high, bitcoin experienced a correction, as a result of which its market capitalization fell to $ 1.04 trillion, that is, the status of an asset with a capitalization above a trillion dollars was retained.
The most popular stablecoin in the world, Tether USDT, launched on another blockchain - this time it was Solana. According to the developers of the network, it can handle up to 50 thousand transactions per second, while fees for transfers can be as little as 0.001 cents.

He clarified that he is not a BTC maximalist, but in his 46 years of trading, he has never seen a market with a more exciting history.
The trader believes that with a 50% probability, bitcoin will grow to $ 1 million or fall to zero 🤔
The head of Coinbase, American Brian Armstrong, took the first place among crypto billionaires at the end of 2020, according to the ranking compiled by the Chinese research institute Hurun.
The list also includes the founders of bitcoin exchanges, investors and owners of mining companies. The total wealth of 17 participants in the rating was $ 77 billion.
Hurun separately pointed out that the creator of bitcoin "Satoshi Nakamoto" could enter the list of the top 25 billionaires with a fortune of $ 50 billion. But it is still unclear whether this creator of bitcoin actually exists.
As we can see, the wealth created on the crypt is still a US-Chinese story.
(on the other hand, cryptocurrencies are an industry where many people do not like to advertise their capital)
