Think it would be fun if we all put our heads together and speculated which Poker adjacent people got the richest off Crypto... Here is my completely made up list

1) Awice
2) Matt Kirk
3) Cole South
4) Kane Kalas
5) Alan Keating
6) Haralbos
7) Timex
8) Chris "Jesus" Ferguson
9) Tony G
10) Trueteller

Thoughts, anyone else who should be on this list?

#1 is obv a lock.
CTS may have done better than Aussie.
Rest is hard to have a more accurate thought on.

#8 is pure speculation but he is a computer genius 100 millionaire from FTP pre bitcoin who seems very nitty and sharp... would be shocking if he missed the boat.

Awice once had 9 figures but has been wrong about literally every move the crypto market has made the past 9 months. Hes been "100x" long during 2-3 nukes, been short during massive rips. Hes definitely not #1, especially since the #1 slot is likely held by someone who is a Billionaire.

My #2 or 3 isn't even on the list and hes a super private person so not going to list him here despite the fact that most people probably woudln't know or remember him.

Bryan Micon had to make a ton - his message board where I first heard of Bitcoin and he was not only one of the biggest early cheerleaders (in the $10 days) but also had an unrelegated poker site which dealt in BTC

I've seen some talk of Tom Dwan having like 7 figures in crypto on reddit. Obviously none of it confirmed but I can see it.

awice is either lying/exaggerating all along or busto from leverage, if there was any truth to the amount he had leveraged he is definitely wiped, also liquidated his nft collection a few months back as more signs of busto

if he somehow survived earlier falls then this one definitely did him in, lol at these rankings

7 figures wouldn't crack the top 100 IMO.

You're thinking that more than 100 "poker adjacent" people have made $10 million or more from crypto?

You could probably find 100 different posters in the btc thread alone

Of course 7 figures wouldn’t be in the top 100.

You could have invested only $100k into major tech companies like Apple, Amazon, or Nvidia in the crypto timeline and have solid 7 figure profits.

I made a post on 03/30/18 of a poker dealer at my local that made $4 million on ICON.

Being up $10 million is nothing. The reckt stories are something totally different if your coin lost 95%+ of it's value on a downturn.
