There are, I would guess, hundreds of people on HN who are millionaires and happily lead public lives without fear of being hit by $5 wrenches until they give up their passwords.
- epolanski 3y agoI know a guy who stopped saying how many Bitcoins he had after he mined few thousands (by then Bitcoin was skyrocketing to single digit dollar values!) I know he kept mining for years. I know for a fact he only sold 2 of those since then. Now here's the interesting fact: he wasn't early into Bitcoin because of the technology, but because he was a full blown lunatic crypto anarchist. The guy literally works at some low paying job and has a normal life and lives dreaming about a world where Bitcoin's a common way to trade goods. Seriously, he's easily worth hundreds of millions since years and he lives like a normal dude and spends his time just blogging and being a bitcoin evangelist.

Maybe I'm just reading it this way, but it seems like you are implying that this is a negative and I'm really not sure why a millionaire living like a normal dude could possibly be considered negative.
