Seems more like a successful small business owner (not just being a part-time welder).
Considering that he has been running his shop profitably for 20+ years, he may well be richer than 90% of his academic peers.
- jamal-kumar 3y agoSmart guy but in my experience in parts of the world which aren't graced with the dollar or euro as their home currency really gotta be deft like that in order to get by comfortably. Small chance you may be surprised how many people out there are living on less than 5$/hr
- monero-xmr 3y agoA lot of them are switching to Bitcoin, or some dollar-equivalent like USDC / USDT
- golergka 3y agoNot sure why are you getting downvoted. I'm in Argentina right now and its happening in real time right in front of my eyes.
- sakjur 3y agoIt’s half an argument. Just bringing up cryptocurrencies is tiresome. How does that change the amount of people living on less than the equivalent of $5 per hour or day?
- monero-xmr 3y agoThe parent comment said you need to be “graced” with the dollar or euro, but with crypto every person on earth can have a dollar wallet now. That’s why I said it.
- EasyMark 3y agodon't most start investing in markets outside their home country or get something more tangible like land and capital items rather than stuffing it under a mattress?
