Umar(@umar_xbt):Flood says sudden wealth can turn an asshole into an even bigger asshole “I lost someone because they couldn’t accept that I was scaling and they weren’t. They thought they were better than me, and we had a major falling out.” “Money accentuates who you already are. If you’re an asshole, you become a bigger asshole. If you’re generous, you become more generous.” “I tell crypto guys who make money quickly to set it aside. Put some in Bitcoin, equities and cash, then pretend you never made it.” “Don’t immediately buy things or tell people. You haven’t figured out what that capital will allow you to become.”
