Mystery surrounds the fate of Bitcoin billionaire Mircea Popescu amid drowning on costa rica’s coast.
The widely reported death of the debatable investor has now generated hypotheses about what will affect his bitcoin fortune, which is estimated at more than £1. 4 billion ($2 billion).
According to the website Teletica, Romanian Popescu, 41, drowned after bathing at 8:30 a. m. at the Playa Hermosa beach hotel, known as a surf destination for its waves.
A guy known as Popescu “crawled down the current” and drowned.
Popescu is the most productive known for his blogs about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on various platforms and forums.
But his statements have been condemned as fascist, racist and sexist.
He also thought that, through many, he was one of the largest holders of individual bitcoins, and the Independent estimated his fortune at over £1. 4 billion.
But unconfirmed rumors circulating on the internet claim that his circle of relatives cannot access his Bitcoin addresses, where it is claimed that he had a million Bitcoins.
If the billionaire hadn’t arranged for others to have their wallets, one’s chips could end up being lost forever.
It follows the death of software mogul John McAfee, who was discovered hanged last week in a Barcelona cell, who is also believed to have giant sums in cryptocurrencies.
Alexander Mardar said, “It turns out that with the deaths of Mircea Popescu and John McAfee, a significant amount of BTC$ could be lost forever. “
Former CoinDesk editor-in-chief Pete Rizzo said Popescu was also an antagonist of other prominent figures in bitcoin’s early years.
Following the announcement of his death, Mr. Rizzo tweeted, “Mircea will remain one of bitcoin’s most reviled figures and one of its greatest philosophers. “
