Not surprising. He is a developer not a market trader. Even Gavin admitted to selling a bunch of coin sub $30 back in 2011.

And this is what you say to those who are against bitcoin because they think that a very small number of first mover geeks are going to own the world.

He must mean 348,000, right? What a confusing way to word this, considering the differences people have in the use of decimal points! I have a feeling he is sitting on 348,000 if anything....

actually i am thinking, its 348btc.. why else would he need to go work for bitpay if he had 348k to his name?

.. put it this way, i have no need to seek contracted employment

You're probably right, but I hope he doesn't make these mistakes when hes adding a transaction fee  Cheesy.

Not everybody stops working once they've got some money. And having the money in bitcoins is still a risk unless he cashes out.
