Nicht wirklich IOTA bezogen, aber für einige vielleicht sogar interessanter als so manch tolle technische Entwicklung, die sich auf Papier geschrieben doch als schwere Kost herausstellt und dessen weitreichende Auswirkungen der Normalsterbliche nicht greifen kann. Nachdem in Norwegen die Einkommensverhältnisse eines jeden Bürgers öffentlich einsehbar sind, sind natürlich auch die Einkommensverhältnisse von IOTA Gründer David Sønstebø kein Geheimnis. Demzufolge hat David im letzten Jahr ca. $4,880,000 verdient und sein Gesamtvermögen beträgt ca. $33,300,000:

Sein Gesamtvermögen iHv $33,300,000 bezieht sich jedoch auf sämtliche Vermögenswerte in seinem Besitz:

Ob es gut oder schlecht ist, das Vermögen seiner Bürger offenzulegen, darüber lässt sich sicherlich herrlich streiten. Worüber sich nicht streiten lässt, ist, dass es unangenehmen Besuch mit sich bringen kann, für den David allerdings keinen fuck übrig hat:

Natürlich zieht so ein Reichtum auch immer Neider an und so kam David nicht drumrum, sich bei Reddit rechtfertigen zu müssen:
To be clear I have no moral or professional obligation whatsoever to disclose my personal finances or justify my decisions pertaining to my private investments. Keep in mind that there was no pre-mine or other unfair special allocations in IOTA, contrary to how all other crypto projects conduct themselves. Additionally, I have never received a cent from the donations to the IOTA Foundation. That being said, I have always strived to be one of the most transparent and forthcoming people in crypto due to just how riddled the crypto realm is with bullshit and obfuscation. I have been very candid about my iota holdings and the small liquidation I did in 2018 on numerous occasions.
IOTA goes back to 2015 when I put all of my resources (monetarily and time wise) into it. I sold a small portion to secure my future and pay the bills, as well as helping close family members get established. I also invested a portion of my iotas to acquire a start-up focused on accelerating the adoption of IOTA and other stakes in other companies, as I said was my plan back in 2015-2016 when asked what I would do if IOTA became worth a lot of money. I haven't touched my iotas since 2018. In fact, I have only bought since then during dips and I still hold roughly the same amount that I've always had. Hopefully this quenches any conspiracy theory about me selling major amounts of iotas, such as Vitalik did with his ether, or Charlie Lee with his Litecoins or X other person of virtually any other project.
All that being said: my private finances and affairs is not something anyone has the right to demand answers to. So any further queries will be ignored.

True, but those people need to understand that IOTA didn't pre-mine, started at $500 000, never engaged in any of these gimmicks or scams, refused to pay listing fees or fake volume. These decisions used to frustrate people, now years later it's paying off by putting IOTA in a unique category of authenticity. Always play the long game.
I am still very optimistic that the promise of DLT shows no sign of slowing down in terms of enthusiasm in the real world, but I've always been an outspoken critic of the cryptospace as a whole. It's just like the dotCom bubble, Nanotech bubble, social media bubble and soon AI bubble etc. 95% dies, the rest rises from the ashes like a phoenix.
