Members in that thread were able to answer that question cause that was a long time ago, bitcoin was very low in value and saying you had 10, 100 or a 1000 of it made no difference and did not matter to others or attract any undue attention. Bitcoin was still just a speculation, one they must have been ridiculed for sticking to and they used threads like that as motivation to each other

None of them if asked today will talk transparently about their finance now and no one now would either. Even owning half a bitcoin is enough to attract attention of spammers and worst.
