One of the most successful investors from Wall Street invested in bitcoin

Billionaire investor Stanley Drakenmiller said he too is a bitcoin holder.

"Bitcoincan be an attractive asset class from a position of savings for both millennials and west coast money"," he said in a conversation with CNBC thisMonday.

In an interview, Drakenmiller focused on stabilizing the bitcoin market and compared cryptocurrency investments to investments in gold:

"I have many times more gold than bitcoins, but the truth is, if the gold bet works, the bet on bitcoin may workbetter because it is thinner and more illiquid, and much more sensitive about the movements of the rest of the market.It's been around for 13 years and every passing day takes inmore stabilisation as a brand."
