    So you’re saying these crypto nerds don’t pay taxes?

      Crypto is a capital asset in the US, so they don’t owe the taxes until they sell. And many of them don’t live in the US, on purpose. They figured out where they can go and buy citizenship so their tax burden is much lower.

        So you’re saying crypto is not worth anything until you sell it? Sounds like they aren’t billionaires except on paper.

          That’s typically what it means, yes. Having large amounts of cash is generally a bad idea, because over time inflation makes it worth less.

            Assets other than cash have value. Land, for example.
