„I think it is working. There will be other currencies like it that may be even better, but in the meantime there’s a big industry around Bitcoin.” – Richard Branson

Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson is an English business magnate, investor and philanthropist. He founded the Virgin Group, which controls more than 400 companies. In March 2000, Branson was knighted at Buckingham Palace for "services to entrepreneurship". For his work in retail, music and transport (with interests in land, air, sea and space travel), his taste for adventure, and for his humanitarian work, he became a prominent figure. In November 2017, Forbes listed Branson's estimated net worth at $5.1 billion.
