    When the Winklevoss twins invested their Facebook settlement in Bitcoin, many snickered. Their stockpile is now worth $1.3 billion.http://nyti.ms/2kMl9OK

        Exactly my thought. If something is not liquid it is in effect an illusion, a mirage of wealth. I can't wait for people to start writing about experiences of liquidating large sums of crypto because it's not exactly easy going from investments to cash in hand at home in USDs.

        Good luck trying to withdraw that amount off any exchange. The liquidity simply does not exist.

        Can they liquidate that much in Bitcoin now? How do you liquidate Bitcoin, anyway?

        You can sell it for USD using different sites like Coinbase. It deposits into your connected bank account.

        Not if the bank red flags it for fraud, which they might do for a billion dollar transaction.
