As far as we know you are quoting a dead man. He held a lot of bitcoin while he was alive, and probably lost more than many in this thread could imagine.
What an insight you shared there. I just checked the user's profile. They were last active in March. That means their demise happened recently. What a loss.
The rumor is it was a car wreck. Truly sad. He made lots of enemies here because he was also a thief/scammer. He started a crypto "game" that I think used monero, but then had it's own google sheets based "currency", and he basically exit scammed, supposedly went to jail (not sure if related) and most likely lost most of it...
I had several long private conversations with him. he was a tortured soul. At least some of the time.
I never knew, however, that he was a violin appraiser. Lol.


This guy more or less brought me into crypto and i enjoyed his predictions and mathematical forecasts very much! I think his game was not intended as an exit scam, i think -as i was watching the development of his castle game- he was fucked by hackers as other exchanges had been fucked also and he was fucked by poloniex also.
I am not sure if he had a car accident or if he was accidented, but yes he had some troubles with his wife and his children. RIP, i will still enjoy reading his posts and predictions saved here

A quick note to agree with you that Risto was not purely bad. But he did demolish his reputation and his own riches as well as the wealth of others. Along with, as you say, getting others to see the future with Bitcoin (and also Monero). I liked him and had several great conversations with him. It would be terrible if he was "accidented".
When the kingdom game was going I would not touch it with a 10 meter pole. He loved the idea of being a king, surrounded by sycophants. He was that as well... I saw the end from a mile away... maybe I was just cynical, but also right.
