First, Lasry said that 1% of his net worth was invested in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> and second, he believes the world's top digital currency could reach $40,000 one day.<\/p>\n<p>The billionaire investor revealed that although he first bought Bitcoin a few years ago, he purchased a lot more of the digital currency last year, around an average of $5000-$7500 per coin. Due to Bitcoin's appreciating price, he estimated that Bitcoin now made up 1% of his net worth.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, he also predicted that Bitcoin could run up to $40,000 as it becomes more mainstream, easier to buy and more freely tradeable.<\/p>\n<p>This process may happen sooner than later. On August 16th, 2018, the SEC will reveal their decision whether to\u00a0accept, reject or\u00a0postpone Cboe's Bitcoin ETF proposal.<\/p>\n<p>If approved, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/what-is-the-real-probability-of-a-bitcoin-etf\/\">Bitcoin ETF<\/a> can bring a huge influx of money through simple, streamlined Bitcoin purchases available to institutional investors, less technically adept investors, and speed traders.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2017, Spencer Bogart, the vice president of equity research at Needham & Co, predicted <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/what-is-the-real-probability-of-a-bitcoin-etf\/\">a 25% chance<\/a> of an ETF approval. However, much has changed since then, such as the introduction of Bitcoin Futures and the SEC's ruling that Bitcoin was a currency, not a security.<\/p>\n<p>Although Lasry considered the role of other cryptocurrencies and the reasons to invest in them, his greatest stamp of approval was reserved for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The reason why I like Bitcoin is that its the one that everyone is going to come to&#8230;I just think that's the one that is going to have the biggest market benefit is going to be Bitcoin&#8230;if the average American\u00a0can buy it, then I think the price moves up.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition to his role with Avenue Capital Group, Lasry is also co-owner of the professional basketball team, Milwaukee\u00a0Bucks, an NBA franchise, and part of a growing circle of NBA owners who have publically supported Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden State Warriors co-owner\u00a0Chamath Palihapitiya first bought Bitcoin at $100. In February 2017, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2017\/12\/12\/social-capitals-palihapitiya-says-bitcoin-is-going-to-1-million-in-the-next-20-years.html\">predicted<\/a> that the price of Bitcoin in three to four years would be around $100,000 and that &#8220;in the next twenty years, a million dollars a coin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vivek Ranidive, the owner of the Sacramento Kings, has accepted Bitcoin for season tickets and merchandise since 2014. He is now using his stadium to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/major-league-baseball-announces-ethereum-based-digital-collectibles\/\">mine Ethereum for charitable causes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and the star of Shark Tank, changed his mind on cryptocurrencies and personally invested in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a host of other blockchain projects.<\/p>\n<p>With all the public support for Bitcoin and its fellow cryptocurrencies, it is plausible that the NBA soon might <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/major-league-baseball-announces-ethereum-based-digital-collectibles\/\">follow the MLB<\/a> and launch their own crypto project as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marc Lasry, co-founder, and CEO of Avenue Capital Group shared two interesting facts in a recent interview with CNBC.
