Cryptocurrency has turned many people into billionaires. And. It is interesting to learn how these people feel about their unexpected riches and how they plan to spend them.
Of late, we have seen a sudden rise in the number of crypto billionaires in the world. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and DOGE have turned many unassuming people into billionaires. According to a statistic by Forbes, the number of crypto billionaires has risen by a whopping 60% in just one year.
Crypto Billionaires and Philanthropism
The philanthropist tendencies in crypto billionaires are strong because most of them were not striving to be rich. Being a billionaire happened to them, and unlike Sam Bankman-Fried, most of them do not have a clear idea of what they should do with their wealth.
A Discussion on What Goes on Inside the Head of a Crypto Billionaire
Let’s dive deep into a discussion that took place on Reddit, a popular forum on the Internet.
One of the Reddit users known as LifeReboot mentioned that he does not feel any more fulfilled after getting rewarded with random profits. He stated that he feels like a nobody without the profits earned through a crypto investment, which he calls gambled profits.
He was told that he passed the test of life’s stability and gained financial independence, but there is a lot more to do in terms of spirituality and personality development.
Many users advised him on how he could spend his money. While some asked him to open a crypto-related operation, others urged him to travel the world.
The valuation of the crypto economy was measured at $2 trillion in 2022. And it is because of the efforts of many billionaires who gained from the crypto industry and invested in it. For instance, FTX owner Sam Bankman-Fried was in the news recently when he stated that he wants to give away almost 99 percent of his earned profits as a donation.
Popular Crypto Billionaires in the World
After gaining wealth, many billionaires like FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried started their own crypto and blockchain operations. Currently, the list features 19 crypto billionaires, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao. Other notable entries in the list are Alchemy founders Nikil Viswanathan and Joseph Lau.
Summary
Being a crypto billionaire seems like the best thing that can happen to a person in life. But little do people know how unfulfilling and confusing it can feel to billionaires and even millionaires. Although we do have billionaires like Sam Bankman-Fried who have chosen their path, other rising millionaires do not know what they want to do with their lives and ask questions on online platforms.
