No doubt.
A person would have to be a fool to admit he has millions of dollars in unreversable currency to every scammer out there.
The worse part of it all is taht you're admitting to millions of people that you have millions of dollars on either your phone or PC. A lot of people would be after you. The person would never have the same life as before. What's the point of Bitcoin anonymity if you're going to tell everyone approximately how many you have?

I think the best what OP can get is a couple of liars . Real bitcoin millionaires surely not going to advertise their wealth for everyone from the tax man to beggars and gangsters.

If you think he would take the time to create a sock puppet a month early and make nearly 200 posts that are completely unrelated to this, maybe.
Besides, I didn't even say he's legit, I just said I'm surprised how everyone is so cynical, in a world where people easily get scammed for billions of dollars every year. It's not like bitcoiners have been any less susceptible to scams either.
I have to admit I didn't even consider the possibility that he's a scammer, though the lack of a response makes it seem likely.
zzzZZZZ being cynical helps you survive in this jungle. I don't see your point that in the world people easily get scammed? Do you really think we don't know this? Because of a thread saying he is from the channel 4 team you instantly believe him on what grounds lol He will get no one even if he is legit we have no proof which is needed You have comprehension issues. I didn't have any point, other than I'm not a shill and I am surprised by how cynical people are.

Hey guys,
I am a journalist based in the UK. I am hoping to meet "Bitcoin millionaires" who may be interested
in featuring in a channel4 TV documentary later this year. We are interested in interviewing anyone who
has made their fortune from Bitcoin, be it early investors or Bitcoin entrepreneur's. If you would like to discuss
this further please drop me a message stating your name, contact telephone number and your Bitcoin "net worth"
and me or one of the team will be in touch soon.
Kind regards
Chris
Let's help out and find you some real "Bitcoin millionaires": 1) Owning over a million BTC is not required, you are looking for people who used BTC to make millions in other currency. 2) Do several million hopeless altcoins help make an interesting TV show?

A few years ago, Goat bought a Lamborghini Gallardo worth some $209,995 using Bitcoins, and at that time he was worth much more than that. He was banned from here, and I don't know how many coins he is having right now.

I like how Op is full of himself and think that every person dream is to appear on TV or be interviewed by 'journalist'. I don't have millions and even if I have I wouldn't talk to journalists, they tend to bend the truth too much for my liking. Plus Op is no offering any sort of compensation payment for this 'job' either.

But they're millionaires! How much more money do they need?

wow, people are a lot more cynical then I thought.
More precisely. People in the bitcoin community are more cynical than you expected. As a long-standing bitcoiner, I find non-bitcoiners to be rather cavalier and highly gullible in general. There's a big difference between activity in the Bitcoin economy (where you have real freedom and responsibility) and activity in the mainstream economies (where you're effectively a child being protected by your government). This contrast is felt by many hapless newbies who show no fear (just as puffins showed no fear of human colonists) and fall prey to even highly suspicious scams. There are plenty of very trusting people out there but they don't have enough freedom to easily hurt themselves and are generally not attracted to such freedom. Such people will have no interest in Bitcoin until and unless it is blessed and made child-safe for them by their government. Please take care in any Bitcoin business dealings.

Good luck trying to find one. I bet those millionaires would rather not reveal themselves unless the company is willing to fork out some extra money to pay them for the each tv appearances. Even then, I can imagine these people will still hesitate to appear and would rather not sell out their privacy for that.
sure, who wants that kind of fame.

Goat ... was banned from here
Sorry for the topic swerve. Goat was banned? What was his supposed offense? Mandatory on-topic content: Goat at least used to own a 1000 BTC Casacius coin (may still own it). IIRC, at the time he purchased it, the ounce of gold was worth a bit more than was the 1000 BTC.

IIRC, at the time he purchased it, the ounce of gold was worth a bit more than was the 1000 BTC. I can't quite remember the details. It seemed to drag on forever. Something to do with him baiting moderators and some dodginess about an old deal gone wrong tied up with Bitcoinica. All he seemed to do was drone on about his Lamborghini and expect to have his willy sucked so it's no great loss. He sold the coin for over a million dollars in gold and USD supposedly near the peak.

Real bitcoin millionaires surely not going to advertise their wealth for everyone from the tax man to beggars and gangsters. exactly. wealthy people are usually smart enough to keep quiet about their wealth. that's why if you see someone bragging about how much money they have, they are nine times out of ten pretty broke.
