haha knightmb,

you were very lucky and still are. know what? i would be very happy about 10k btc.
and because you really are not happier with 371k then with 361k (you know it!), you should really send 10k btc to me at 1AWqSp8zh1BPYaN96UE8KxLzKg7Kd9SoTn

Your asking for Sixteen Thousand Dollars. And your putting it in such a way asif it's nothing to him.
Ask a multimillionare why they dont go around down giving the homeless money, And see what they say.
It's probly gonna something amung the lines of "a penny saved is a penny earned, Do it 100times, And you got yourself a dollar"

160THOUSAND dollars is still ONE HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, It Doesnt matter how much you have, If people just passed out cash like your asking then he wouldnt have money

It's undeniable that anyone would ask for some money from a multimillionare if they themselves werent doing so well.

Your asking for 160k, and saying "oh you wont notice a difference, this is meager to you, Make me happy"

Folks like knightmb are actually the kind of people I'd love to hear most about.

The ones who were there, whether out of cleverness or idealism, when it all was still < 1$ stuff and a day of CPU cycles netted you double digits of BTC.

They are very much like lottery winners, but with a twist.
Basically they have been given immense opportunity to be "someone else" simply for "having been there" (sponsored by anyone gullible enough to help drive prices up hundredfold since then), and I have always been curious about the giant "what if" of money vs no money plus people.

These are the real stories imho. Not blah will regulators shut it down, blubb how high can we go, blerp bubblecrashworldrevolutionwhatevs.

More of these individuals should come forward and put forth their stories, be it here or on IAMA(BTC millionaire, e.g.) / reddit or something.

knightmb, congrats.
You have my best of well-wishes. I hope you manage to create as much real cash and accordingly cool real life experience out of this as at all possible.

I think he can take out about 50.000$ a day without crashing the market. Would last him 8-9 months, a good timeline to liquidate and after that just live your life to the fullest as a multimillionaire

Too bad for all the poor souls ending up with worthless bits. Meh, just feed some hungry African children, those fat capitalistic geeks had it to good anyway. The Bitcoin Robin Hood !

I agree that people should use some of them to buy tangible things. If the market (btc or USD or any market) crashes, then they can't take away your house if it's paid for, your car, etc, etc.

I'm not saying spend a ton, just whatever your comfortable with.

If I was sitting on 300k btc, I'd totally buy a boat

Or form a foundation which owns a bunch of offshore companies and cook island trusts which own bitcoins and bitcoin funded businesses.

Nobody can take those money than BK or not.

Dude,

Spend it !
Keeping money only gives you more headaches...
Take the family for a trip around the world have a good time.
Convert the money into fun experience and good for others.
When nothing is left, the experiences and good feelings remain - and no one can/will sue you for those (especially if you are broke and back to where you were 2 years ago).

Oh, I'm still alive and kicking. Grin

Yeah, still have them, though like was said, it would not be possible to sell them all at once and become an instant millionaire. No one is going to buy that many at once. I have kept my client running 24/7 since then though, managed to generate a bit more before the collective mining groups took over Wink

Without the massive server farm I had going before, I'm just down to my personal desktop, so it's never gotten over the 371k since.

I do keep many, many backups though just in case Cool

In my view, you'll be a multi-millionaire in about 20+ years, if it all goes according to 'plan'... not before.

knightmb is either scared for his life right now, hired a top-notch security crew/bodyguard(s), or fled the country with backup encrypted flash drives. Who knows, maybe he bought an island and named it Bitcoin Island Grin

knightmb, you should use a portion of your fortune to make a big time transaction. Maybe buy a Tesla Roadster. Maybe you could talk to Elon Musk directly about it. I mean hey you've got 5 million right now and the sky is the limit. Some big purchase would get lots of attention. You'll probably be a billionaire within the year.

He might not want that kind of attention though I love the idea and love the Tesla. I wish I had one!

Today, besides bitcoin..... Real estate is a steal in many places. That is what I would buy. Not lots. Just some cherry picked good deals.
