[cuddaloreappu]

Do you know anybody , your friends,cousins who were early adopters and got millionaire rich of the 2013 bitcoin bubble..

What toys have they bought? sports cars or what?

Okay if you yourself is an early adopter and a millionaire, share  some things abut how your life is changed now and what things have you bought and how you enjoy your life?

I've not seen a wild one but a few on TV  . I suspect there are plenty of bitcoin millionaire on this actual forum though.

1. 2013 was not a bubble (I'm considering Willy report too). It'll be proved in the long run.

2. Millionaires dont always spend to show off. Some of them believe in Warren Buffet - "Spend only when your savings is done".

Smart millionaires keep their mouths shut and their purchases private. If I hear someone bragging about money, it is typically because they wish they were rich. IMHO.

Not all the time. Some people just overcompensate and think that money = success and they need to let everyone know how "successful" they are, but a lot of people also do brag about money they don't have for this exact reason.

and thanks to the past few months, i'm almost done accumulating the amount of BTC i held before selling in december 2013.

+1
also there is no such thing as a bitcoin millionaire. no one holds 1 million bitcoins

if you mean fiat millionaires.. there a MANY

convert less then 300 bitcoins into chinese yuan and your a FIAT millionaire

its not a big deal..... moving on

You're also forgetting the fact that many wouldn't because it would immediately make them a target.

I met a couple really big bitcoin millionaires and they were cool, they were normal people. You probably couldn't tell they were millionaires to be honest. One guy told me, he said he still goes to work every day at the same job he just treats it as a hobby and doesn't get too stressed out.

[franky1]

those that brag about their riches are usually naive people that are not used to being wealthy. and usually find in 20 years time their riches would have evaporated..

thos smart enough to have always been wealthy and increase their wealth would not brag about it, nor tell anyone how to also bcome wealthy (avoid future competition), plus as lethn said avoid unwanted attention from scammers.

i have seen too many polls asking for how much people have and what client programs they us etc, all part of th schme for people to target the rich. so dont pretend it doesnt happen.

people like warren buffet will tell people not to buy things, so that he can buy cheaply without competition. then when h is ready to sell, he will tell people to buy so that he can sell without causing a price drop.

you will find the rich and wealthy people tell you the opposite to what you want to hear.

That's a good way to handle it I think. I'd like to think I'd do something similar, but I would like to travel a lot though. Some people go crazy when they come into money quickly and it goes straight to their head. I find it really obnoxious when people brag about their wealth. Meekness is such a virtue with wealth.

Nobody currently hold one million Bitcoins. Anyway, I've met a Fiat millionaire, but not a Bitcoin millionaire. I think they'd want to stay hidden for security reasons.

I think they'll be living like average civilians, so they won't spend all of their wealth.

[Sydboy]

no, no i have not..
sorry.

My daughter.  She got me into bitcoin mining in early 2011.  We made a lot of money together.  I paid off her student loans with it.  I bought a snowblower with bitcoins. Otherwise we are just holding out for the second million dollars.

I also paid a lot of taxes on the coins I sold for dollars.

I wish I could remember the name but their is a documentary about lottery winners and how most of them end up being poorer than they started off with.

I think most richer people in the community just feel lucky to be able to do whatever they want now, like build bitcoin applications Yes we all want the ferrari, luxury boat and the super model girlfriend (I am still working all three) but in life what is that give you, 3 seconds of pleasure maybe.

I thought Satoshi might have over a million? And everybody knows being a bitcoin millionaire means holding a million fiat value in coins. And why would a bitcoin millionaire what to stay hidden any more than a fiat millionaire?

I'm not a bitcoin millionaire, got in too late, but its always fun to tell people the (true) story that I was able to buy my new range rover with my Litecoin profits (when it hit $50ish).

You made a million and all you did was pay off student loans and buy a snowblower?
