Dude has 8 kids and someone is claiming it was around 200 BTC. That's ~$3.3M down the tubes. Ouch.


no big issue because surely he must have 96M more. no one would ever store all of his wealth in one single asset - and especially if its a very risky asset that isn't backed by any real value. or would he?

In an attempt to make this a more productive comment, can you elaborate on what is an "honest way" to make a living in a way that is not "environmentally destructive?" I assume the "other people with 8 kids" are not Amish people selling produce at a farmer's market. Someone providing for 8 kids would likely have a car (maybe two), and go to a job in a building that uses electricity, right?

What about your leisure time? Xbox/Playstation? TV? PC/smartphone? Or are you somehow posting your comment via smoke signal or semaphore?


Any job not burning the equivalent energy of Argentina to accomplish a technical feat that could be done better with psql running on a raspberry pi.
