I think the richest people don't advertise their wealth at all, they try and disappear as much as possible, not even bothering to blend in.
These people watch the institutional adoption of crypto like a hawk and are watching global markets and currencies of every nation and they're getting data piped in directly to them that is of monumental significance. It's all about data and it's all about who gets that data first and who acts first.
These people will be fine if a French Revolution type event ever were to occur because they will have been years ahead of the rest of us on the uptake.
I think what's truly terrifying is that for the rest of us just shitposting here, we don't have much power to keep ourselves solvent let alone safe. Market effects buffet each descending class that much more. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a Phillipino gold diver, for example, or what it's like living in Sierra Leone or something like that.
It's so terrible how the majority of the world is forced to exist just so that about a billion or so in mostly the Global West are living somewhat comfortably with AC and a compartively much more stable day-to-day.
I pray every single day that violence doesn't erode what's left of what the World has achieved in terms of civic development this past 200 or so years. It seems like there is a bigger slide backwards than there is forwards, and that's just so sad.
If I ever get rich, like millions of dollars rich, from crypto - I'm going to start a town and have it run entirely decentralized and make it a local-only crypto that other people can invest in maybe with a proxy contract token. I don't know, I'm just riffing, but this post and your guy's comments have got me thinking.

I agree with you wholeheartedly but strangely I personally know several billionaires and some that are close. Most don't flaunt but their housing certainly doesn't hide anything. I don't think I'd buy more house than I could clean and I'm most likely a condo guy. I noticed that in Los Angeles there are gangs targeting people based on this. It briefly made the news but not much talk about it anymore.
