The "cash freedom" of crypto tycoons, how many paper millionaires have been slapped in the face?

Having 40,000 BTC in the account, just the cash flow behind this number is enough to make the traditional billionaire model "break down".

Let's talk about the essence:

The assets of traditional billionaires appear valuable, but any movement requires layers of approval, bearing stock price fluctuations, and even carrying the "shackles" of debt.

But the BTC of crypto tycoons is different; this is genuine "privately controllable" cash flow—no need to watch the board's expressions, no need to wait for the expiration of equity restrictions; when they want to cash out, the market depth directly accepts it, and the money arrives in seconds.

The assets of traditional billionaires are essentially bound by "corporate credit + market valuation," whereas crypto assets represent an individual's absolute control over wealth. There are no institutions, no debts, and no need to "explain" the use of funds to anyone—this level of freedom has struck a chord with how many people truly yearn for "financial freedom"?

In the market fluctuations of the past two years, more and more people have realized: the cash flow that can be accessed at any time is the real strength against risk. The "asset scale" of traditional wealthy individuals is a numerical game, while the "crypto cash flow" of crypto tycoons is a practical weapon. Of course, it’s not to say that BTC has no risks, but this model of "personal wealth sovereignty" indeed provides a new patch to the concept of wealth: true wealth is your control over assets, not the numbers that are tied to assets.

Now looking back at the debate over "the richest person," it suddenly feels absurd—when a person's wealth can flow freely without relying on companies, institutions, or even the traditional financial system, should the definition of "the richest person" be rewritten?
