Congrats on your fortune. This is a very honorable thing to do.

But my real question is: How on earth did you manage to resist selling your holdings for such a long time after you crossed the $1MM mark? That's some superhuman level of self control.

It's pretty much in the (sub)title of the page: "Because once you have enough money, money doesn't matter."

Yes but you can only really "have enough" once you've cashed out into a medium that has a negligible risk of being worth nothing. It still takes major cojones to leave that much in BTC for so long, thus my kudos

You can cash out half when it's enough and let the other half grow thousand times or go to 0 without caring.

I have no idea if that happened here.
