    Honestly spending $210 000 on crypto in 2011 was a ridiculously risky move. No way the guy knew what he was doing, just tremendous luck (and just as much fucking stupidity)

      Thats the story behind most extreme wealth, random luck.

      We just dont here much of most who didn’t have radom luck. e.g imagine a guy buying a lottery ticket, and he wins a $200million, we’d here the story, we don’t see interviews with people who bought a ticket and then lost.

      OP doesn’t know purchase cost. Wallet deposit on that date doesn’t mean it was purchased 1 hour before.

      He was probably a foreign agent or government. BTC was invented and supported so spies could move money across borders without being caught by official government bodies/banks. Esp since a lot of spies do things like illegal drug trafficking, gun trafficking, human trafficking, etc. That’s why BTC was so popular on 4chan early on -4chan recently was hacked and it was confirmed there were government emails registered on the site. this last part is not true, it has been debunked, I still think that is why 4chan had BTC ads from users constantly so early though.

      There’s also slave groups of people forced to scam for crypto, NPR did a story about it on Planet Money. It’s entirely possible they are imprisoned or those are otherwise spy lead networks
