 I meet this guy a few times a year. Was super early and bought 1000s of bitcoins only to sell them after a few gainz. Knows that all crypto can be hacked, knows guys at the NSA who are satoshi.

It’s always a cool story bro.

Too bad they never keep any of those bitcoin, with them being super well informed and all…

 It's a trope at this point.

Buy a shit ton, sell for 20% gain, do other shit for 6 years then look at what happened . . . 

"I KNOW THE GUY AND IT'S GOING TO ZERO. ZERO!!" 
 People really love to seem “savvy,” “in the know” — whole personas are cultivated around it. 

Being humble and stacking is not savvy, though.   
 If any of that were true, he would have a podcast by now. I've heard some crazy stories,  but the reputable stories are usually told by people who had podcasts back in the day. 
 That said, not everyone who stumbled (through ingenuity or happenstance) into Bitcoin early is a moron.

There are only a few left, but we are on a mission for cryptosovereignty and the digital liberation of the world...and we will never give up.

 Do you know Bill Binney? He's said some really interesting shit.
