Son, the third-richest Japanese person, initially invested in Bitcoin at the peak of the 2017 bubble. As reported by U.Today, he ended up losing as much as $160 million after deciding to sell his Bitcoin holdings at a huge loss due to viewing it as a distraction.

儿子是最初在2017年泡沫顶峰时投资比特币的儿子。正如U.Today报道的那样，他决定以巨大的损失出售他的比特币持有量后，最终损失了多达1.6亿美元，这是由于将其视为分心。

Obviously, the disastrous Bitcoin bet hardly made a dent in his massive net worth, which currently stands at a whopping $31.3 billion

显然，灾难性的比特币押注几乎没有使他的巨额净资产陷入困境，目前的价值高达313亿美元

In 2020, he predicted that digital currencies would be "useful," but he stopped short of singling out a single token.

他预测，在2020年，数字货币将“有用”，但他停止了单个令牌。
