I don't know, hoarding a bunch of money needlessly seems way stupider than using your available resources to fill your life with incredible experiences, to me.

I think we just somewhere down the line all got confused by what success was supposed to look like. It ain't a game of Pacman; you don't win just by having the biggest number on the scoreboard.

Edit: important caveat, I know literally nothing about this dude or how he made or spent his money, I am just speaking in generalities.

But afaik he didn’t spend it. It just devalued. So he had [xyz] amount of crypto. One day [xyz] was worth millions and then [xyz] was worth only thousands. So it’s not like he got great experiences or a house.
