The Presidential Election (Pilpres) of the United States (US) is often a betting arena. Not missing this year's election, which is a battle between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Where then the US Presidential Election was won by Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Haris. This also brings Billionaire investor Mike Novogratz luck.
He admitted that he had just won the bet by bringing Bitcoin pylang in the bet for the 2020 American Presidential Election.
However, he did not save it, instead he distributed the winning prize to one of the Twitter users at a lottery event held by Novogratz himself.
The half Bitcoin prize is worth around USD 7,726 (IDR 112 million). Bitcoin value itself increased by 10 percent from last week, reaching USD 15,543.
The price of Bitcoin itself has increased by nearly 60 percent since the end of August, and is up by 300 percent so far this year, according to Business Insider.
"I won the presidential election bet with @StoneyBitson. 1/2 BTC, I will also hold a lottery for beginner Bitcoin players for the coin. Those who already have Bitcoin are not allowed to participate. I am thinking of numbers 1-1000. Who can guess the right one. , I'll ask Money to send it in person. Just one guess, "tweeted Novagratz.
Novagratz himself had predicted the Democratic Party's victory to control the White House and Congress.
Then it turned out that the Twitter user with the username @Adelgary finally won the lottery, by guessing the number "826."
Novogratz himself said the reason he chose the number 8 was because he had lived for 7 years in China, where the number 8 was interpreted as a lucky number. The number 26 itself represents the date of his birth.
Even so, Novagratz's decision to decide Adelgary as the winner seems to have been challenged by many other participants. The reason is that it is assumed that the winner already owns Bitcoin, which means it violates the terms of the Novagratz lottery itself.
Novagratz has also previously suggested that if the Senate is occupied conservatively and there is much less fiscal stimulus then this is a good sign for the cryptocurrencies business.
He believes that the central bank will issue digital currencies within the next 5 years.
