I don't see Satoshi buying billion dollar yachts. I think most people wouldn't like to be very rich in crypto if they can't spend it.

Exactly. That's the point. You must be discreet by keeping a low profile to avoid bringing unwanted attention. Why do you think Satoshi never disclosed his identity in the first place? Because he knew of the consequences of doing so. Especially when he created an alternative to the existing monetary system. Governments would've been on his tail if he revealed his identity in the first place.

May this be a lesson to everyone involved in crypto. Never disclose who you are or what you possess. Sadly, figures like Roger Ver, Charlie Shrem, Tornado.Cash developers, and Samourai developers are ultimately paying the price. With increased government outreach/oversight, developers/founders need to remain anonymous to keep Bitcoin (and the whole crypto industry) safe. The future can't be predicted, so lets hope for the best.
