I made $2 million in the last couple years and pulled out most of it in gold and bought a house. Thanks for saving me for my actions :-)

Not GP, but are we supposed to feel good for you? You're holding what those people lost. Some people got lucky, some people stole, a lot of people lost big time.

Not really, a bunch of "lost" crypto money isn't even "stolen"/"transfered" in the traditional sense, it's just lost as in "vanishes from the world because someone did a operational mistake" gone.

I'm not claiming GP is holding all that was ever lost, that is a bit much.

I too made a bunch of money on BTC but in the end, it was just gambling. Got lucky, nothing more, nothing less. I did not know anything, the future just landed on what I thought would happen. Survivorship bias at it's finest.
