If I was rich I could hire a security contractor to steal Bitcoin keys. Or hire a mobster to hit someone with a $8 wrench until they give me the keys. Or hire underlings to create a scam investment vehicle to steal Bitcoin. The opportunities around!

In fact, I'd wager that the majority of opportunities for the rich to enrich themselves exist outside of the pure economic simulation world that bitcoiners use to motivate the existence of Bitcoin.

> a $8 wrench

Last time I looked it was a $5 wrench. Inflation hit them too?!
